Whenever I have the boat shrink wrapped, all my vinyl seat covers have dark mold that is beyond difficult to remove. this is the first year I didnt get it wrapped and its the cleanest my boat has ever been!
My fear for next year is the weight of potential snow on the T-top if I dont get it shrink wrapped. any suggestions?

Make your shrink wrap cover able to breathe. That will help

You really need to have allot of vents. Like a Pepsi bottle cut in half and taped to the side. Multiple of those. Lots of airflow. The shrink wrap covers are just too damn tight
This year I went with the silver harbor freight tarp for $60 vice the $240 shrink wrap. Holding up well

It's going to weigh more shrink wrapped than it would unwrapped. |

Exactly, pretty sure the shrink wrap pulls down with more force then the snow would. |

FWIW, back in the day, before I knew better, when I did shrink wrap my boat one of the things that broke was the sunshade on the tower. Very similar to a t-top. I think it was caused by the wind being caught by the shrink wrap and flexing the legs. |

Still not sure it was worth the work, but I've used 8' - 1" pvc conduit piping bent over areas of concern...bit of work securing the pvc and keeping it upright, but it did help with the center console area as well as the void in the bow

 ... it finally happened, there are no more secret spots
