Interior Fountain skins vs. locally done
SubscribeQuote:
In one of the buildings at the Fountain campus, there is a room full of people with industrial sewing machines, rolls of high(er) quality vinyl, and patterns. They sit there all day and sew all the vinyl pieces for the boats. Iv'e been there and watched them.Originally Posted by Fountain4402
Id check both, but vinyl is vinyl and as long as they copy the ones you got on, why pay the fountain premium when they probably arent even made by fountain. Plus if you buy locally and something breaks a week after u bought them chances are they will fix it locally.
I have another question for you guys, I know several people have asked about this but I couldn't find anything......
Anyways I am sure everyone is getting these from fountain but I am having no luck getting a hold of anybody there right now. I am looking for the rubber latches that are on the top door that locks the 2 swinging doors to the cuddy cabin in place. Thanks

They aren't broke, just discolored from mold and age. Been working on fully updating interior and they kinda stick out......Originally Posted by Fountain4402

nick... I replaced mine when I bought my boat too. No matter how clean you keep your hands they just discolor in a few months. I scrub them with some degreaser and they clean up about 90 percent.

Baby wipes work amazingly well to clean them up, too. Someone posted that many years ago - when our kids were little, we found that they worked well.Originally Posted by nick9671

Did you try vaseline? Sometimes that brings back rubber
