Kent, Thanks for the info. The top of the seal seems to have a double lip. How did you mount it? Fair Winds Eric Kimberlite Amel Super Maramu #376

Here's the gasket material I found that works fine. It's enough to do two replacements. My first replacement in 2010 has dried out and needs replacement again after 5 years. Purchased at JCWhitney.com +1 800-529-4486
Belt Weatherstripping Item No. 819751
Cost including shipping in 2010 was $28 US.

This being a recurring topic, here's a post from some time ago that may be of interest:
"We replaced the delaminating wooden companionway with plexiglass - one of the best changes we've made as it adds wonderful light down below. We used a slightly tinted version that looks mirror-like in the daylight from the outside - at night we have a cloth cover we can hang from the locking knobs inside for privacy. The top few inches are double thickness for the locking knobs and key lock - simply copying the original.

I had to drill three holes using the old one as a template. It'll be obvious when you look at it. I just power washed my black companionway door and it came completely clean. I'm going to use a spar urethane on it now instead of teak oil which I've been using so far. Hopefully that will keep it from being so porous and collecting dirt, mold, and robber from the gasket.
