We have a 2009 176T with a R Dome. We use the R Dome most of the time but the bead that slides into the channel has worn and will not stay in the channel. Any Ideas on how to repair or where to get a replacement bead? Hate to have to buy a new R Dome if we can someway repair.

Thanks,

David

It's called keder tape.. any sail shop will have it, and can do the replacement. It can also be found online, and any heavy duty sewing machine can do it.

My internet connex is real slow right now, so can't get the address for Sailrite. It's a mail order sail making company. They have keder tape and just about anything else you might need for canvas repair. REasonable prices and fast shipping. Google Sailrite and you'll find them
