Bimi Top Frustration

[Moufoo]

I went outside today to mess around with the new bimini top for an illusion-x tower, and it was extremely hard to get up and down. I also had no idea on how to fit the bimini into the sock and lay it forward on the tower, so I just took it completely off. Anybody have any "secrets" on how they put up and take down their top? I really want to know how to make it lay forward and store it in the sock.

Oh yeah, and where can you get that 2 foot extension for the bimini?

It is sometimes trying at first, but you'll be very happy with it over time. Bob @ Metcraft has been very helpful, when I got stuck. I have his contat info @ home and will re-post with it later tomorrow. I did get the extended bimini and am very pleased with that as well. It covers about 2/3 of the interior of my LSV. I can send you pictures of what mine looks like if you PM me. My Avtar has a picture of it.

Did you order your extension from metacraft directly, through dealer, ????? how much was it. My 247 is underconstruction currently and I may want to add it on. Maybe they even have a larger extension for the 247.
