My Ariel has deep channels under the lids that keep water out in most conditions.
while working in the salon with the heat going I noticed that I had a lot of cold air flow coming from under the companionway So I picked up some foam pipe insulation for 3/8th pipe that fits on the lip nicely and is compressed a bit by the lid so it seals pretty well.
It costs about $2 for a 6ft section.
I only did the side lockers, the outboard well I left open because it's sealed from the rest of the boat and since I keep gas in there I'd rather have as much ventilation as possible.
Think if you wanted to go for looks you could glue some fabric to it, the foam seems to be pretty durable, I keep all my tools in the stbd locker and while I've hooked it and pulled it off a few times (it's not glued) getting tools out, I haven't torn it up.
Ken.
