Bimini support covers?

[marks737]

Does anyone know where to get those nice wrap around covers that protect the vinyl windows from bimini support rods? I'm replacing my vinyl this spring and want to keep them nice.

I honestly don't know if you can buy them ready made - other than the snap-on, plastic stand-offs.

Are you having someone do your vinyl for you? I would just have them make the covers for you. Although, it is pretty simply - material of choice, velcro and a sewing machine.

I use pipe insulating foam on my supports. I have the ones that have the split in them like shown in the picture so it is simple to put them on or take them off. You can get them in various lengths at Home Depot or Lowes and all you have to do is cut them to the right length.
