Yes, on a previous boat of ours I made them to prevent leaks in the teak window frames. Used an aluminum keder strip across the top and used Stamoid to make the covers. Stamoid is waterproof and with the keder all the way across the top water couldn’t get in behind the covers. I used the thinner version of Stamoid in white so it let in quite a bit of light.
