Anyone ever had the rivets break on their bimini top?
I have a new 07 190 bay and have took it out about 3 or 4 times so far. The first day after I drove it home on the trailer I was putting on my new cover for it and had to lower the bimini top that came on the boat and one of my rivets sheared off of the upper rear support. A little dissapointed I just put a stainless steel screw in to hold it in place until my 20 hr check up. During my 20 hr check up at the dealer they replaced the revit with a new one and I thought I was good to go. My next trip out while I was trailering the boat back home I noticed my bimini top was about to fall off. I pulled over and noticed the two main bottom support poles that the rivets had sheared off! If I wouldn't have noticed it and if I would have been driving on the interstate I may have lost my top. I am going to again take my boat back to the dealer but this time I want some type of stronger fix this time, no more cheap rivets. Has anyone else ever had this problem? I have not ever took the boat in ruff seas just in the bay, nothing over a moderate chop. I will let you know how Triumph or the dealer handles this one. I do feel they will take care of me as they have in the past I just hope it is an upgrade to the same type of rivets.
