GLOVERSVILLE, N.Y. – December 13, 2006 – Taylor Made Systems has developed an innovative canvas application for stainless steel windshields.

The M3 Canvas Clip eliminates snaps traditionally located on the polished stainless steel top trim of many boats. The patented design incorporates a metal snap that fits inside a rubber gasket concealed within the trim of the windshield.

“The traditional steel clips found on the windshield’s top trim often rust or break off, leaving gaps in the canvas or marks on the trim work,” explained Mike Oathout, vice president of sales and marketing for Taylor Made Systems. “The new M3 Canvas Clip creates a cleaner, more fitted look that won’t mar the surface of the stainless windshield trim.”

The moveable new canvas clips are easy to replace and do not require any drilling for quick and effortless installation.
