Hello all,

I'm not sure how "technical" this issue is, and it's likely just user error/inexperienced with this R29-CB... That being said, we bought this RT as the second owners, and when I did my sea trial, the command bridge Bimini top was collapsed/folded back out of the way. When we took delivery of the boat, the top was fully deployed in place. Over the past few months, the top and its shade have been awesome, but I went up there the other day to lower the top to get access to cleaning part of the canvas, and for the love of all that is good and true, I cannot figure out how the heck to collapse the metal structure that supports the top! I can't find any releases, latches, catches, buttons to push, or obvious areas to give it a hard push, so I figured I would come here to see if anyone else has a quick set of instructions on how to collapse the top and go with the convertible look? Thanks again all!
 
I figured this out. Small little screws that you take out with a hex wrench. Be careful removing or re-installing them while on top of the CB--if you drop one, it unfailingly finds a way into the water...
