Dunno if this is the same idea...I cut about 6 to 8" piece of a foam "noodle" from the pool and in a color to match my Bimini. Cut a slice the long way just like pipe insulation mentioned above. Cost a dollar or two from wally world or Job Lot.

I think foam will get ripped up quickly.
Doesn't the sun dry it out too?

The ones I saw will last for years.

Yes, the foam dries out after awhile and then sometimes sheds. Sometimes gets blown away if I forget to take them off and throw them in the console when the top is open. But $1.99 for a 6' foam noodle leaves me LOTS of cheap spares! And it was an old one from the pool anyway...
