There is a steel tubing frame around the perimeter of the canopy and the front of the canopy tucks under the hood about 3/4" (20mm) so I believe it won't be able to lift.

Harv,
than you will get no problem, also this solution is for air flow the better one. The solution to lay the front on the body panel needs always enough pretension.
So you use no hinge, you run the canopy as a single part which stuck under the bodywork (in front) and will be locked on the top to the roll bar.
