So I got a Bimini with my boat. It doesn't seem to stay put well when under power. It looks like there should be snaps at the front and back. The snaps are on the frame, but not in he top as seen in the pic. Should there be snaps here? And if so, why doesn't mine have them?

Mine looks just like that and I have the same issues with it. I think those snaps are for side curtains but I intend to use them to hold down the bimini. I see no reason not to install the mating female snap on the bimini canvas.

Thanks Dan! I though I something was wrong with my top! I'm putting the snaps in on Thursday. I'll post pics of how it looks

I have a 2002 180 Horizon. I took that pic only and it's sitting in my garage right now. I can't put the top up in there. I'll pull it out this weekend and post some more pics

Well no pictures but I installed the snaps just now and plan to take the boat out tomorrow. I had to bring the whole bimini in the house to cool off. The aluminum poles were 118°F, kinda hard to work on when they're that hot.
