Bimini struts G23

[ThornappleWB]

Has anyone else bent the gas struts that hold up the bimini when the tower is down on a G23?

If so did you replace with OEM or something else?

You might call Overton's or another supplier to match the parts. Shouldn't be very expensive.

I buy all my bimini fittings at rochfordsupply.com they are a distributor for the boat top manufacturers.

i removed my gas shocks. i think it is easier to work by yourself without them

No. But i was able that straighten it and they still work fine. I'm just super careful not to force them closed

If you remove them, you can't fold the tower down without the Bimini frame resting against and scratching the windshield

you are correct with that. i have two pillows that sit on windshield when i pull into garage.

Does anybody have a pic of this gas strut installed? They weren't on the pre 2015 models and I'm looking to install one so I dont scratch my windshield again
