Fabric
DuraPorts are made with Cooltone Extrablock, the world’s leading synthetic fabric from Alnet that offers the ultimate combination of:
- Up to 96% block-out protection from harmful UV rays. Without protection, UV rays burn the exterior “skin” of motor vehicles, aircraft, boats, and trailers, causing:
- Paint and hard plastic (side mirrors and trim) turn dull, then chalky
- Rubber seals and bumpers to turn white, dry out, and become hard
- Vinyl trims to turn white and eventually crack
