262 Bimini Straps

Post by kbloom72 »

Hey Everyone,

I picked up my 262 late in the season last year and just recently opened up the bimini for the first time. First of all, what a pain to do by yourself! Anyhow, I'm missing the black nylon straps that go on the back. Is anyone aware of a part number or a place to source them? I'm not worried if they aren't OEM.

It’s a pain to set up that’s for sure. I documented it on the site so I can reference it each year. :lol: Posted here.

Call Sunbella on the straps.

I totally followed this when I did it! Didn't help too that dealer had the biminis on backwards so I had to flip them around first.

Thanks for the info on Sunbrella. I'll give them a shout. Cheers

Or just bring it to a upholstery shop to add them.

A canvas shop can add them. I have an industrial sewing machine and make things like these.

Ok, need more assistance. Does anyone know where I can source this bracket that mounts to the tower? Yesterday it became victims of Memorial Day weekend waves.

Been looking through their site. Finding all the Bimini Hardware needed, just can't find the curved tower bracket.

Hmmm
Any chance you know a local welder? Do you still have the broken piece? Pic?
