Swing back Canopy

Postby Nick » Fri Jul 14, 2023 3:45 pm

I know this is an old topic, I went and looked up back to 2014 where it was covered. What I need is to see if anyone has the CD of the instructions that they can email me. I bought my Waiex partially built and the plans say, from the previous owner, to follow on the CD. I did not get a CD. I also would like some examples of the latches that were used on the swing back Canopies. Thanks

I would just admonish anyone altering the canopy from the factory plans to be extremely careful and thorough in your changes. There could be consequences:
