NOTICE
Adjustable Bow Style Models
When attaching windshield connector and side
curtains you may want to adjust your bows to
provide more slack and thus ease the installation
process. Press the spring pin to adjust
accordingly. Once the windshield connector and
curtains are installed, extend the bows to make
the canvas taught and remove sags.
NOTICE
Non-Adjustable Bow Style Models
When attaching windshield connector and side
curtains you may need to unzip a portion of the
bimini canvas from the arch (if applicable) to
provide some slack thus ease the installation
process. Do not unzip completely. Once the
windshield connector and curtains are installed,
zip the bimini top completely to the arch.
For bimini top removal, reverse the previously
described procedure.
NOTICE
Canvas should be snug. If too taut or extremely
tight, canvas could tear or pull at seams.
