Need help with boat Bimini Cover Rubber

[Burns363R]

So i bought a 22' Celebrity and it came with a Bimini cover. It has a rubber seal on the edge that is supposed to clip into the front window to make a seal for wind i guess. This rubber is dry rotted, is this something that i can get replaced? Where can i buy it?

I guess its a navy top? Here are some pics of the rubber seal that attaches it to the window.

This is what it looks like installed.

Technically I think that's a convertible top. I'd check with a local marine canvas shop. I'm sure one of the other's on the forums have worked with it before, but I've actually never seen that on any of my tops.

Thanks, I did find some more results under the convertible cover. Unfortunately i dont have any boat repair shops near by. I was planning on buying the rubber piece and having it sewed on. I may just go to snaps after all.

how does it attach to the boat, or does it. The 'prongs' on the u ( to me it looks like a u-shaped rubber channel with prongs ) , do they slide into anything? Close up on how it attaches to both the the canvas and the window would help.

Going to snaps would be the best idea. Easy to get it on and off.

Ya thats what im doing. My upholster is going to install snaps.
