We're having problems with the bimini sagging from the middle at higher speeds. Depending on wind it happens about 25-30MPH. The faster we go, the more it sags.
On our second trip out, in some pretty good winds, as we were cruising, the second from the rear cross brace dropped pretty violently and split the zipper open and tore the fabric a bit on the seams.
We purchased this 2014 2250GBR used, and the dealer put a new bimini fabric on before we brought it home. I'm a little concerned that it's possibly not the right fabric, the fit doesn't seem great. There is loose fabric on the sides, and a snap where there is no place to connect it.
In a shared folder I have a couple videos and pictures better demonstrating the problem, including video of the frame sagging / flapping at speed:

I've seen some other conversations on here with similar problems, especially with the curved bimini frames it seems. Sounds like people had to work directly with Bennington and/or go to a custom company locally. Please reach out if you've got any ideas.
Thanks!
