I've been working on this idea for about a year to solve leaky pipe boots. There is no business or product name, so hopefully this isn't against the rules. Just curious what others think of the idea.

Works simply - you reseal the boot with mastic, silicone, or a new gasket and then slap one of these covers on to protect that seal from UV radiation. Without direct sunlight to dry them out, those seals will last much, much longer. Been making these prototypes out of class-A fire retardant polypropylene.

Whudya think? Am I onto something?

TWO IMPORTANT CLARIFICATIONS:

1. This cover can be trimmed to about 1/3 the size shown in the image. The image depicts an untrimmed version. The extra material allows it to accommodate a wider range of pipe diameters and roof pitches.
2. This cover is not intended to be waterproof itself. It's sole purpose is to protect the UV-sensitive seal underneath from sunlight, thereby prolonging its life.
