EPDM 1/2” round cord is what I used and it has served well for a decade or more, so far. I purchased a hundred foot roll and two friends have replaced all their opening hatch gaskets with it as well. I still have enough to replace mine again, should it ever become necessary.

Thanks again to all, we solved the issue with rubber. Works great.
