I don't think that these vents have that problem. I live in FL and my current boat sits in a slip year round. It's a 2000 model and has the same vents (I believe they are original). These vents are slightly flexible (rubberized comes to mind) and haven't shown a bit of degradation in the FL sun. However, they act like a petri dish and develop a lot of mold (vinegar and water take care of it easily).
