Hello All -
I own a 04' 37 Formula SS and this past weekend when extracting the back bimini I noticed the white plastic track on both sides of the arch corners had a horizontal crack extending a few inches. Believe it's due to the bimini's resting position when rolled up. Anyway when locking into place my starboard side popped out about 2 inches and across 6 inches round the corner section. After talking with Formula this afternoon I wanted to get your thoughts/experience on my options. The service rep mentioned it required heat to bend around the arch and will wrinkle with another flash of heat to bring it back to a smooth transition. He didn't have an idea on how much it required other than a heat gun... for those of you that have experience replacing, how extensive of a job was it and how hot did you get the track? Also looking for other options you might have used to fix this problem.
Thank you,
Adam
