Why Is The Fabric Used On The Outside Of The TruXedo Boat Windshield Cover # TX38FR?

Question

Question:

Im debating between the Truxedo that you sell and the Gravel Guardian at Bass Pro Shops. They both are very similiar and they both seem to be displayed backwards. My question is why is the soft side of the windshield cover on the outside while the rigid plastic side is against the glass? I would think it would be just the opposite from the point that the soft side would be easier on the windshield, the harder side would be easier to maintain and clean. I know others have asked similar questions on different forums and websites. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks.

The TruXedo Boat Windshield Cover # TX38FR places the polypropylene against the windshield to protect it from scratches. If you were to put the fabric side against the windshield it could hold particles of dirt and debris. While in tow the cover could then move around which would scratch the windshield if this happens. The polypropylene will not grab hold onto dirt like the fabric and reduces the chances of scratches on the windshield. The fabric/carpet material is used on the outside as it is more durable than the polypropylene foam.

The 5.30-12 tires, being wider, are going to make more contact with the road. This means that the noise, and heat build up will be higher than a 4.80-12 tire but the rolling resistance will actually be less because the tire is larger diameter. The…

Since both a ST145/R12 size tire, like the Kenda Karrier S-Trail #AM10130, and a 5.30-12 size tire, like the Kenda K353 #AM10068, fit a 12 inch wheel, a ST145/R12 size tire can replace a 5.30-12 size tire. Keep in mind that these tires do have…

Your math is correct in your trailer weight load example. If a fully-loaded tandem axle trailer weighs 4000-lbs then each of the 4 tires will bear 1/4th of that load, or 1000-lbs. In this case a tire rated for 1300-lbs would provide a good safety…
