I often wondered how effective troy manors reverse naca exhaust is, being 
positioned
1 aft of the doors, on top of the fuse.

While I am confident removing a piece of door seal at the top aft section
of the canopy door will work, I am not too excited about the idea.

The spacing allows cabin fresh air to escapesomewhere.  I am not really sure
how it makes its way overboard, nor how efficiently.   Unfortunately, this
method isnt completely effective as I still have considerable bulging of the 
doors.
Perhaps I need longer standoffs to increase the gap.   As such, I only have
one door seal on at the moment allowing the air to escape via the port door
which minimizes door bulging.  I also notice in the winter months when I have
the cabin fresh air vents closed, cold air blows on my neck which seems to be
coming from the D panel.
