I've worn out the cloth in my dagger trunks. It seems to be made from the

loop

of the hook and loop material used in velcro. Would anyone have a better recommendation. Also-what adhesive would you use? Thanks.

Lots of threads. APS sells a white hook style for the Vanguard 15. Needs to be shaved down but that is what you want. The other option is carpet but the V15 loop material has sticky back in place and will make a tighter fit.

I used the fuzzy part of Velcro on one of my boats. I did it not too long ago so will see how long it lasts. I mainly used it because I had it in a drawer already. I had to shave it a little with a razor blade to get the fit right.

something called

boat blanket

that you can get from sailrite.com. I used super 77 to attach it.
