I need to either have my Bimini modified or I need a new one.
21 ft tunnel,the top now acts like a kite in the wind. Is there someone in the Havasu area that does this???

May seem dumb, but have you removed it or anything? Any chance it was removed and put back in backwards? As you said “now acts” makes me assume it’s a new issue. As well have you tried loosening the rear straps a little, and tighten the front up, bringing the nose down a tad.

I have 2 Tops for my 22. One with the mess running down the center and another we just had made is all mess which we like better in the middle of summer.

I did a lot of research last year and ended up having a guy in LHC do mine. He lives in havasu but had a shop in upland for a long time. Now he works out of his RV garage so it keeps the price down. Mine turned out awesome and even have the mesh down the middle. All stainless and it was 800 bucks. That’s a great price if you start looking around.

I have a friend with all mesh and he complains a lot about it whistling. Says it's very loud. Any others with this experience?

We had this one done at Nordic for our 21 Daytona. Stainless with the heavy duty straps. 60-65 and probably faster, but it is fantastic, and a game changer in AZ when you have kiddos. We made it a little lower which also helps. First class all the way. I spoke to John.

I was always under the impression that the middle bar should be hanging toward the back, not the front.... That way wind force will try to pull it down, not lift it up.

In other words, opposite of this, But i could be totally wrong.

Obviously how you have the strap lengths set makes a huge difference as well.

Is it possible that OP just put the bimini on backwards, that is very easy to do.
