Bimini Base Mount Clip

[anthonymsaad]

While out on the lake over the weekend, had an issue with my canopy detaching from the base mount a few times while driving. Looking at the base mount, it seems to be that the black plastic insert was worn out and allowing the bimini clip to wobble more freely and unlatch easier. Besides ordering a new base mount, does anyone know if it is possible to order just the black plastic inserts? Haven't been able to see a part number for them on the parts diagram.

The part in the picture isn't the piece that gave me trouble, but wanted to give an idea of what I was talking about.

You could always buy a new mount and see if you could swap the insert if you didn't want to swap the whole piece. Or maybe you could find a small plastic sleeve at Ace or someplace similar.

They're not expensive

I have a grave yard of these. Make sure the Bimini is strapped down when towing and it'll cut that issue back
