    Source of way cover wiper material for VM1?

    Has anyone dealt with this problem? I need to replace the wiper material in my way covers, not a big job in itself, problem is finding the wiper material. I estimate I need about 50 feet to do all of the covers, about 36" per wiper. I can get the material from Hurco
    P/N 6190001015, WIPER, WAYCOVER, VM1/2/3, $290/meter

    $4700 for rubber strip is asinine. I checked a number of the companies that make the material but none seem to have the profile used on a Hurco.

    This link was way shorter before I cut and pasted it, but it's basically waywiper.com. There's been previous posts here before as well that may have other suggestions.

    Here are some close up pics of the profile, it wipes with both a front facing lip & a rear facing lip and is retained by the hump resting in the channel.

    No go, sent them a pic and they don't have that profile wiper.

    I found another place that may have something. It's mimwaycover.com

    I pulled a cover to remove a piece for a pic and measurement. It measures 12mm wide. The rear tail is about 3mm, middle 4mm and the lip about 5mm

    Did you ever find any wipers that work? I need the same for a vm2.
