Windshield track snaps on a Meridian or Bayliner pilothouse?

Pura Vida · Aug 21, 2014

I have a Meridian/Bayliner pilothouse that has a track around the out side edge of the windshield, does anyone know what snaps fit into this track to fasten the enclosure canvas/ glass to the windshield?

You'd probably get a better response on the Bayliner Owners Club site, as there are plenty of 4788/490 owners there.

More than likely there is a small rope sewn into the edge of the canvas which then slides into the track. Like the bolt rope on a main sail that goes into a groove in the mast or the boom.

I have it on my Monk, It's called awning track. Like Bob said a thin rope or cord is sewn into the hem of an awning or bimini, or windhield trim and slides into the track. it makes a good seal to keep out rain or wiind.

Is that what you are looking for ?

You probably need a bolt rope, try googling Sailrite and look for the size you need. It comes as an edging you sew on your canvas.

Do either of these look like they might work? They are Taylor Made Marine products.

I'm not sure puns should be allowed here.

I don't know, his pun is better than my eyesight. On second look that track is flatter and wider than I first thought... forget the boltrope.

I found the correct snaps that fit the windshield track on a 490.
Thanks for the help.
