Bimini top shifts and rubs

[Gvoz42]

Hello all

I have a 2021 20 SVL and when my bimini top is stowed the frame doesn't sit on the rubber stops all the time. If we hit a wave or even when in the trailering position the frame shifts and rubs against itself. And I circled the spot where the stops are and where it rubs. (Stock picture found on internet....my boat is 30 minutes away and my phone camera isn't working) Anyone else have this problem or have any ideas how to keep this from happening. Thank you

Very common, and not just with Bennington.
Can you ignore it?

I can. And have been since we got the boat in October. I was just wondering if it was an issue I needed to worry about or just a common quirk of the bimini design.

Mine does it too. I had been using a velcro strap wrapped tightly around it on each side to keep the tubes aligned, but gave up because it was a hassle, and was only marginally effective.

Sounds like I'm not the only one. Guess I just gotta quit worrying and enjoy the ride
