Look for neoprene stripping. It is the best. You can usually buy it in varying thicknesses and widths in marine stores.

: My CLC kit came with black, self-adhesive, high-density foam weather
: stripping that's 3/8 in. thick and 3/4 in. wide. First, it should be 1/2
: inch wide. Second, even when I crudely trimmed the width, it was too dense
: to settle down far enough to have the hatch look good.

: I went to Lowe's and got some gray self-adhesive weather strip of 3/8 in. by
: 1/2 in. dimensions. It's lower density, and the hatches settled down
: nicely (using hidden bungee system with appropriate tension). BUT, I found
: that they absorbed a lot of water. On testing, I found the material
: provided by CLC absorbs little water.

: So, the question is: What works best, and where can I get it?

: Thanks
