Default Waterproof Material or Rubber under a hinge??

How about some cloth-like material? Some Chris engineer
probably already figured out it worked well.

Thank you sooo much JR. I hadn't thought of
that. Man, "cloth-like material!" How do you do it??

Might have been canvas treated with "waterproofing" agents...

Thanks guys. I found the old one. Wasn't torn up like I thought. Might
reuse it, might not. Canvas treated with waterproofing sounds like an
idea. Rubber bike tire would work - just afraid it might wear out from
bending. But even if it wore out every few years - no big deal to replace.

Thanks.

Probably not. Organic weaves swell when wet, thus improving
the sealing qualities.
