Four Winns SL262 - 2008 Bimini repair help

[RubyLily121]

Hello, we recently purchased an immaculate SL262, however, the Bimini telescopic poles on both sides of the Bimini have been damaged. There are what looks like "push pins" inside the poles and two have broken. So the Bimini slides down. We have a temporary fix of cable ties but I would really like to fix it. I have looked on the Four Winns Parts listing and can no see anything. I have attached a picture to show where on the Bimini the extension pole is no longer operable.

Any suggestions on a marine part I can order? Assume this slides into the pole to create the pin.

Thanks Amy

Maybe a close up of the part would help. DO they fold or telescope to store the bimini?

Sorry is not a good picture. The pole is telescopic.

You mean the metal pegs like on a EZ-Up tent? If so, have access to the top of the pole? Cause I'm betting that spring clip with a button was simply pressed in too far and is actually still in the pole. Broom handle or wooden dowel will probably push it back in place.

Yes indeed. I have managed to locate some on Amazon but will take your advice and check the inner of the pole. Thank you
