Default Tsunami Hardtop Bimini hardware

Going to install a hardtop with isinglass on my 23 Tsunami - the isinglass attaches to the SC windshield via ss clips with a male snap that seem made for the SC windshield.

Are these SS clips available ? If so, where ?

Thx

Any canvas guy will have access to them. They are the same for many windshields.

This gal has a pretty thorough website if you can't find what you need nearby.

abl1111,
I also have a 23' Sceptre with a hardtop and 3-sided enclosure. I have EZ2CY on
my 3 forward-facing panels and Strataglass for the sides. My canvas guy secured
them to both the hardtop and windshield frame by using a bolt rope sewn into the
panel fabric that then slides into an length of channel secured to the underside of
the hardtop and the outside of the windshield frame. In my opinion, it makes for a
might tighter and leak-free way of attaching than the standard snaps.
Good luck and show us pictures!

Thx guys. Whew! been crazy busy with the northeast, fall wrap-up of toys !

I'll look into the bimini SS clips from my local guy.

Water Rat - my hardtop came off of the same year Tsunami I have ( although oddly enough it was called a Sceptre - and it has isinglass - in very good shape - not excellent shape - the top of the isinglass is attached to the hardtop via the rope/bolt method, but I can't envision how the bottom is attached to the windshield frame with the same method ?

Down the road, when all needs to replaced, I'll get the best isinglass $ can buy as visibility is key !

My biggest issue will be trying to line up this hardtop exactly like the old one to assure that the isinglass and canvas fit snug !
