We use smiles on previous boats. Put a twist lock fastener in the bottom of the smile and it will hinge up and lay under the bimini with a small strap to the twist lock fastener. No scratching, no coiling memory problems. On our current boat when I fabricated the enclosure I made patterns of the front panels and one panel on each side and had them made out of EZ2CY. The center 3panels hinge up and store under the bottom of the hardtop.
