Has anyone found a suitable replacement for the D-section weather stripping used to seal the Hunter 25.5 cabin pop-top. The original rubber D-section appears to be approximately 1/2" across the base ... and perhaps somewhere between 7/16" and 1/2" high. The original appears to have been fabricated from a rather generic rubber. I'd like to find something of similar size, but made of a newer material (silicone perhaps?). I'm not a materials guy so I'm open to suggestions/comments.
But all of this is a bit academic. To date I have not been able to find any sort of weather stripping of similar dimensions ... regardless of material.
In reality this weather stripping is not a huge issue for me, because this weather stripping does not come into play unless there is a driving rain and/or waves are breaking over the cabin top. But, having said that, I would still like to get the cabin sealed up better when the cabin top is "retracted."
Also ... it looks like the Hunter 25.5 only needs around 18' of this weather stripping. Thus, buying a 100' roll is not a live option.
