I am looking for a source to buy the plastic sun covers for my marine radio and tri-data screen. (Raymarine) new or good condition used.
 
Try Raymarine.
I asked at a boat show for a E80 cover and they sent it to me for free!!
Or ebay, Flounder Pounder Marine.

What kinda shape are yours in? Our originals were getting chipped up looking and dry. One day for the hell of it I took them to work and LIGHTLY sandblasted them. It took off a layer of whatever (dryed plastic?) and left a nice uniform etched surface. I then brainstormed to get a semigloss surface I would first try burnishing them with a propane torch. Turned out it worked great! I had to be VERY careful and even in doing it to avoid spotting. It worked better than painting and I don't have to worry about them chipping and flaking. I then had the local vinyl graphics guy print up some miniature Raytheon stickers and re applied them. They could pass for new! They are two years in and still look great. If yours are showing the similar signs and your brave maybe try this. I knew it would be impossible to find 10 year old electronics covers. Let me know if you want any more info on doing it.
 
Yes, when you say you burnished them are you saying that you ran a torch over them and they came out looking like new, or did they come back looking different but nice as well? Please let me know.
