These are all factors that commonly lead to cracks, shrinkage, and failure in other materials like vinyl. With our EPDM rubber inserts, you can rest assured that your boat will be well-protected and maintain it's sleek appearance for years to come.

It can be intimidating to try and find replacement parts for your vehicle. It's common to have questions about where to start and how to know which part would fit your boat.
