Does anyone know of a hatch runner plastic profile material that is more durable than that fitted by Bavaria?
The boat is six years old but the runners broke up after about two. As you might just be able to make out, they have cracked at every screw hole. I kept forgetting to claim under warranty but wasn't too motivated as they would have only re-supplied the same thing.
What I need, I think, is a material like Delrin or hard nylon, preferably glass filled or reinforced in some other way. The originals had a "leatherette" texture on the bearing surface which cut down friction and wear on the acrylic hatch substantially.
