So i figured i asked since i have tried numerous times to do this and it seems to not quite fit properly on the Tower.

Does anyone have any pics of there 08 LSV Bimini top put away i can view?

Thanks in advance.

I fold the back in up and over the ball then put the front part over the back with the front bar running the same direction as the tower on my VLX then put it in the bag.. its really not that complicated. Just make sure that the parts that lock in are securely in the bag so they do not scratch when trailering. I wouldn't think there would be much of a difference with the LSV, same tower.

Same as BlitzVLX, I release the back supports, fold it the back bar over to the front and then release the front bars and kind of roll it up. The rear supports fold forward so they get wrapped up in the bag. I then strap the bag to the top. I haven't seen a problem with mine and love it. Mine is from Tower Bimini, so maybe it is different then yours.

Good Luck.

Thanks guys, what i have noticed is that the vertical poles are longer so when i fold them over towards the tower they are sticking up above the top of the tower. i believe i have the extended Bimini top? idk... lol!

I am able to fold the poles that lock into the tower up and into the bimini cover. I usually leave them out until I get the cover all the way on and zipped up, then I am able to fold them up and into the cover.

I have an 08 Sunscape LSV w/ the same tower and I reduce the length of the extension arms that insert into the tower so they fit inside the storage bag properly (which is folded forward inside the bag and not sticking out of the end scratching your tower). There are 3 hole in the arms and when the bimini is in use the pin is in the bottom and when being stored it is in the top. I would recommend not doing this on the water as you run the risk of accidently dropping one in the drink if not careful.
