Folding The Tower Down With A Factory Bimini?

[Evening Shade]

I have a 2017 GS20 with the factory Bimini. I haven't had to fold the tower down yet, but I'm curious as to what I need to do to the Bimini in order to fold the tower down. Can anyone tell how to do this so its not a guessing game the first time?

TIA,

Super easy. The bimini is on gas shocks that will hold it above the windshield. Just fold the bimini and install the boot up to the big knobs, then remove the two big knobs and lift it just a bit. It will start to rise more on the gas shocks once you get it started. Then you can lower the tower with the bimini still connected via the rear pins.

See this thread for more info.

Jeff,

So the Bimini will swing up and rest above the windshield frame and into the bow with the tower down just as it appears with the red G23 in the above link?

Thanks!

It will be similar. The link above doesn't show any pictures of a bimini with the gas shocks like you have, so yours will sit a little higher.

be sure the mirror is folded down first
