8-27-03<br /><br />We had a bimini top installed by a dealer when we purchased a 1998 Sea Ray. We love the bimini top <br />but when the top was not in use the aluminum poles were scratching the aluminum sides of my boat windshield.The windshield itself is fine.<br />I think the dealer should have used side mounts<br />instead of flush mountings so the poles would not have rubbed on the frames. Since then I have<br />replaced the rear straps with permanent aluminum<br />support poles but I still have the scratches. Any<br />suggestions short of replacing the frame?
