Ahhhhh
Is that an aftermarket tower or Cobalt option tower?
Both. For a few years they used Roswell Marine towers. So this was installed by the factory as was the Bimini but they have not used them since I believe 2012-13. To my knowledge it was not customized in any way at the time for Cobalt specifically.

Is there a custom option to extend an additional bimini to the rear with a tower? A bimini extension, or adding another? Does anyone make something like thay?

Southern if there isn't you should look into getting one of those triangle sunscreens. You'd have to measure from your midcleat, up and over to the other one, and then measure from your pylon up to the back of your tower to get a rough idea of the size you need. It'll work!

Our binimis only cover from the back of muy seat to the windshield.

Yt they made a dual binimi. One out the front and one to the rear. But it's very very rare. I've only seen a few pictures of it. I would have no idea who could make one that is the same quality of the factory one.
I checked all the tower manufactures and nothing.

Here you go Southern. It looks a little redneck but it works. And I'm sure it's not like you've never done anything redneck!

And now, just in time for Christmas, the Ky. Redneck version. After reading this, we ordered a 12' x 12' square. We will try to take the forth corner to bow area. We haven't tried it yet. Come on, Aslan, you know you want one.

Do you have a sticker on your Cobalt that says, "My other ride is a double-wide" ? :D :D :D
