Re: Need Pic

Yea, the ones that flip bow 2 up.

I tightened the nuts down because they were loose and nuts were missing. First time I went to flip the top down, I bent them.

Trying to bend them back. Is there tension on them, and thats what flips bow 2 up?

Re: Need Pic

Those nuts keep the rods in place so they lift the bow up when folding the top down. If they bent, there may be a problem elsewhere. The nuts on mine also came loose so I replaced them, and no issues yet, and it's been almost a year.
