Worn Companionway Cover

I have an 81 Islander Bahama 30. The front edge of the companionway cover is now contacting the deck of the boat and wearing away at the anti skid. Apparently the edges of the cover, and/or the track it runs in have worn down to a point that enables this. To remove the cover and build up either of the mating surfaces, I'd have to remove one or both of the teak rails that hold down the cover. This would be somewhat of a pain.

Any thoughts on how to build this up without removing the cover? I got some sticky back 3/4" x 10' teflon strips from Woodcraft but they are only about a 32nd of an inch thick and I'm skeptical that I can install them in a way that will be effective.
