Replacement outside cover for large "panoramic" fixed port in Salon

[smokey73]

Does anyone know what material would be good to make a replacement cover for the outside sun shade for the large fixed port in the overhead of the Salon for my Hunter 40.5? Here are some pictures. It looks like some sort of vinyl. It is fixed to the outside with stainless steel snaps. I checked on the store here but did not see anything like it.

Any ideas are appreciated.

The material is white Sunbrella.

Front hatchlight, side portlights, and recently added opening hatch covers ..................................

All held in place with SS snaps.

@Ralph Johnstone Do you have any problem or concern with the Sunbrella scratching the acrylic or lexan?

I haven't seen any glaring problems with acrylic after two years. Mind you, this does not allow for little kids to jump up and down on the covers when they're in place.

Sailrite carries several materials that can be used. Some will have a layer of soft material on the bottom side to protect the ports. Note: Many boats have plain Sunbrella port covers and have no issues with scratches.

Thanks all. I'll look at some of the Sunbrella options. I don't want anything that will scratch the acrylic but I also don't something that will absorb water and mildew against the window.
