Well.....

I hear where you are coming from, but the canopy door levels out
horizontally. And prior to fitting the opener I tried applying
pressure on the top of the door in a horizontal direction - it
wouldn't budge.

Hence why I went for the canopy arm, because I believe that splits the
horizontal movement to a force direction which causes the door to
close.

I suppose I could try it without, but I was a bit worried about
knadgering the drive system and maybe having the door fall off through
being given some brute force in a direction it decided to resist
