I just rebedded and rebuilt mine. Not a lot to it. These could easily be made out of extruded fiberglass and would last forever.
I was going to do that but teak lasts almost forever so I rebuilt them.
Aluminum will corrode, which breaks the seal, then they leak. Check the Selene and Nordhavn threads.
The other option is to just glue them in. Considered that also. All new boats are going this way.
