Front bimini usually takes two people unless you are extremely careful in removing. I've achieved by placing towels over the window frame, seats on both port and starboard and handrail leading to the bow. You will want to start by removing the front bimini canvas completely by unzipping from arch and frame. I store with my other tops under the starboard seat storage. Attach the two small boots at this point to the top frame for connecting to the arch later...remove the arch screws as well to prep for holding the frame. Unclip support poles (those connecting from bimini frame to windshield) and clip into place on the frame. Synchronize the removal of the second clips holding the frame in place and slightly bend in to align with the screws, install and snug down. While you continue to hold up at this point to zip in the bimini boots to the front of the arch where the canvas was disconnected.
For the back portion, I usually start by releasing the back straps that clip on the dog house bar and increase height of frame (pins on the side to ratchet up) which relieve pressure on the canvas zipper at the arch. Unzip only at the arch while leaving the canvas in place, I bring both middle cross supports back to the frame. Pull down on the canvas to pull through any remaining slack. Roll the canvas as tight as I can get it using the back straps to wrap and hold both ends which can get bulky allowing it to fit within the boot. Zip boot on and bring the frame height back down (shortens the back pole length) for attaching to the frame later. I start by unscrewing the starboard side back pole from the arch and snap into place. Port side, I hold with one arm while unscrewing the back pole, once disconnected I will snap into frame holder and pivot forward to rest against the arch...be careful as the only support here is you. Once resting in place on the arch attach boot tether to the arch and your done.
