SO 49 Saloon Window Trim

[GrahamT]

The good news is that we live in the tropics and can use our boat year round.

The bad news is that we live in the tropics and the sun can be brutal.

End result is that the vinyl(?) trim around the saloon windows is crumbling badly. Has anyone else addressed this issue and, if so, what was the solution?

Hi Graham

We are fortunate to keep our boat also in high UV location, currently in the Mediterranean in Sicily. Rather a bit "wise with hindsight", I know, but we had exterior pop on covers made from a washable canvas that we always fit when we leave the boat. Touch wood have not had a problem since. Good luck in finding a reasonable cosmetic repair, please keep the group informed with what you come up with.
