    Default Bimini top self installation

    I bought the OEM Moomba bimini top and now I need to install it.

    Can this be done buy a DIY'er or is this a job for the dealer?

    It should be fairly easy to do!

    Deafgoose,

    Do you mind me asking how much that top cost you? I am looking into the same thing. Did you get it from the US? Or your local Canadian dealer. My dealer in Calgary wants $750 and there are some nice looking aftermarket ones in the US for $300 with shipping.

    Thx - JonJ

    I got it from http://www.bay-marine.com in Trenton Ontario. It was $695+tx and shipping was $100 but I got it the next day by FedEx.

    The only thing that I am worried about is that I dont have any installation instructions and the hardware included looks to be incomplete.

    Deaf - I think about a month back Laz did an install of a bimini on his '07 Outback and friend's '07 Outback V. Should be a thread on the BB. I took pictures for him of the factory installed bimini on my '07 Outback. - Deeerfield

    Do you live anywhere close to a bass pro shop? I know I've picked up some bimini hardware there...

    Nope.

    There is one in Toronto but that is a 4hr drive.

    So who is responsible for the missing hardware? Skiers Choice?

    The bimini was perfectly sealed so it was not my dealers fault.

    Who should I be calling to ask for the missing hardware?
