Edge Guard for inside edge of companionway H-33.5

[navigator97]

I have been looking for something to use as an edge guard on the inside edge of the companionway - the aluminum lip edge of our 1990 Hunter 33.5. The Admiral keeps hitting her shin on it and has requested (do something with this) to provide a soft/less hard edge. Has any of you come across anything to do this? The top return can only be about 3/16" while the bottom return can be anything up to about 13/16". The thickness of the lip is about 1/8".

I have looked at W.M and Defender to no avail. I thought I found something at Marine Connections Liquidators in Ft. Pierce, FL, but the top return was about 3/8' instead of 3/16". I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks

I would just lay a folded towel or similar across the entire lower section while the Mrs is onboard. Simple, cheap, and effective.

Would a piece of split tubing or aquarium hose work?
