I need help..."AGAIN"

[IMHB]

Ok...I need the plastic connectors that go in the ends of the square aluminum tubing on a BENNINGTON bimini top..they snap into the part on the railing when putting the top up..Damm plastic stuff always breaks...
Got any ideals where I can buy them on line?
Thanks, Harry

Take the plastic and toss it. Slip the sq tube into the base holder and use the supplied ss bolt to secure the top.

I will agree, Plastics like that have no place in the sun.

If I remember correctly Harry is just fixing this to sell it so looks are going to be 'everything' for a little while...

I tried like hell to find those darn clips online at one of the retailers with no luck at all.. so I called these guys, I have no real reason why I called them but they have the exact same Bimini clip picture listed and they were the first one to list the part..

I called them up and asked if they had anything in stock (they don't) but the lady who answered said she would have 'Jeff' look up the part and give me a call back with price and availablity.

If you are the original owner of the pontoon you may also want to hit up your dealership since these may be under lifetime warranty..

My South Bay has Bennington tops and they have that exact clip. I have not broken one yet, so I love them. They do not rattle and putting the tops up and down is so fast and easy. If I broke one, I would replace it for sure -- they are that user-friendly, quiet, etc. that I think the OP is on the right track trying to replace them.
