Z5 height...Has anyone tryied to modify the Z5 Bimini on a G23 to make it taller?

Man these things are way lower than the regular Bimini...
Has anyone modified the z5 Bimini so that it sits taller on a G23? I can't believe how low they actually sit. I'm 6'0 and it the back it hits me right in the forehead where it's only 5'7 tall from floor to the Bimini and the front where you walk through at the windshield is only 4'10" and hits me in the shoulder. Looks like you could make a bracket or two and raise it 6". Any help is appreciated.

thanks,

I'm also curious about this. I would even trade mine for a factory bimini if anyone was interested.

I recommend talking to a local canvas shop. I raise them all the time and sometimes it is different attachment points or extending the tubing or starting from scratch. if it is worth having right the investment is minimal. sometimes I just sell people the materials needed and explain how you can do it yourself. take pictures in with you first and just ask.
