For years I have been wrapping strips of carpet and the like over the windshield and bow rail fittings as chafe guards for the winter cover. I finally found the ultimate solution. Round pipe foam insulation, such as the Frost King Brand HomeDepot sells. Slit the 1" and it fits my U shaped windshield perfectly.

I use 10 foot lengths of 1" aluminum antenna masts for the ridgepole sliding on 1" plastic pipe tees for vertical support poles. Instead of wrapping the ridge pole with 25 foot of carpet a couple of $3.00 bags (4 pieces x 3 ft) of Frost King does the job better and with less hassle
