Hi all, went to buy new rubber to seal the bottom of the raiseable roof to the cabin top but have had no luck whatsoever. Has anyone replaced theirs and what did you use. See below a photo of my old one which measures
25mm overall height. The U section is about 15.5 mm deep and 3.5 mm wide ( inside measurement)
I have seen one boat which just used the white pinch weld but I wouldn't think the seal would be too good and the plastic would be harsh on the cabin roof paint I would think.
Any help appreciated

That looks like an interesting profile. Mine has pinchweld which has served me very well. The best place I have found for rubber/pvc and such seals is Grippy Rubber here in Sydney

Clark may be a supplier Peter. Usually more widespread.

Re: Rubber seal on roof.
Hi all, I have the answer thanks to "no way".
Grippy Rubber in Sydney have this rubber section. The tag that seals against the cabin top is just a bit larger but you could just leave it like it is or trim it down a bit.
Price was $8.30 per metre plus freight. Reasonable I thought and excellent service
