Hatch slide, velcro

Post by kurz »

hello
I have to improve the hatch slide, the white gelcoat has already gone...

So the velcro mod seems to be popular.

Who has it made for some years? Does it works fine?

Did it worked to be good to use the the fluffy side?

My concern is: If you geht fine sand (like last year in Greace: a Storm from south brought so much sand, EVERYWHERE!) on the welcro, can you get it out???

Thanks all!

The beauty of this forum is that you can easily search through over 11 years of past topics and terms. Can’t really do that easily in Facebook.

For example, I searched for “hatch slide velcro” and hit this topic which should answer your queries:
