Check with RT. They could be Jim Black hatches. You might have to do a special order through Ocean Air.
I have Jim Black hatches on my 25 SC. The previous owner did a special order for the Ocean Air.

Earlier this year wWe installed OceanAirs on our 2017 C24 that has Jim Black hatches. To get the right sizes, we had to special order. They were shipped from the UK, took more than a month and were quite expensive. However they were just right and give us great protection against inspects in the screen mode and protection against sun in the shade mode. We are very satisfied.

My 2011 Classic RT-27 also uses Jim Black and we had Oceanaire shades installed.
I'm going to install them on all my R-27 hatches (regardless of $$$$).
Which model/style did you order (contoured or square) and how did you measure for them?
What I mean is:
Did you just measure the outside of the existing interior frame? What radius corner? How well do they match up
with the existing hatch frame (ID, OD)?
Or, did you measure the inside of the existing interior hatch frame, and order accordingly to match with the
inside of the hatch frame? This may cause interference with the monkey fur around the bow hatch because it
cannot stretch if the shade frame is wider than the hatch frame (like headliner can).
Or, did you measure the inside of the headliner where it starts to angle in, so the frame covers the entire
depression of the headliner and hatch, and then the shade hangs a little below the headliner?
I prefer mine to sit inside the headliner against the existing interior hatch frame (but its contoured, not flat). I'm guessing the shade frame mounting screws won't match up with the existing hatch mounting screws. How was this overcome?
I realize this is hard to explain in writing, but for the price of these shades I need to get it right the first time. I appreciate any help offered. Thanks.
