BLACK WINDSHIELD TRIM INSERT??

[253SED]

Not sure what it is actually called...but what is everyone using ...its the black rubber/foam piece that goes around the base of the windshield to hide the mounting screw in the frame...Hopefully someone has found something good to replace the original stuff...Talked with Kip and they no longer have it...Any ideas...Its for a 97...Convincor 253...need enough to do the whole boat....thanks

Taylor Made was advertising that rubber/foam last week on Ship Shape TV.

The rubber in my windshield is more like a hard rubber not foam. Pretty much like this stuff.

If you haven't found what you are looking for yet, I saw another episode of Ship Shape and they were talking about what you are looking for. Go to boatwindshieldrepair.com which is a TaylorMade website. They have several styles of screw cover vinyls (and lots of other windshield parts) that are now used instead of the foam type cover. Site should have something that will work for you. They also have a "How To" on installation there.
