Sun Socks?

[bmetros]

It seems that the previous owner of my boat did not use sun socks and there are some places on my plastic windows that are fried. I'm looking to purchase or have my wife make a set of Sun Socks. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Sun Socks go over the Bimini support poles to keep the plastic off the metal.

Thanks for any help.

I use those white rubber gizmos from boat fix.

Not that hard to make actually. You can buy the material from Sailrite called Boat Blanket, cut to a 6" strip, sew some Velcro hook on one edge and you have the same stuff you can buy.

Anyone know what the "white rubber gizmos" are called?

Bill: I use the window savers, however I wrap the side against the glass with the loop side of velcro. You can get velcro in strips, and I only use the soft felt part of it , not the hook. side. I had some pressure marks the first time I used them, however after the velcro, it dosen't mark anymore.
