That Storm two nights ago actually pulled one of the bimini loops out of it's sockets. That reminded me of a preventative maintenance item I have never taken care of. Drill a dimple for the hex key to sit into anywhere that you have them. The pressure connection is just not adequate when the joint is put under a severe stress. Not doing that had nearly cost me the $900 Bimini I had installed two days earlier. It was only the strength of the excellent construction by C2canvas that kept the whole thing together.
