262 Bimini Straps
262 Bimini Straps
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.
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.

Re: 262 Bimini Straps
A canvas shop can add them. I have an industrial sewing machine and make things like these.

Re: 262 Bimini Straps
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.

Re: 262 Bimini Straps
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?
