'86 Overnighter on-board Bimini Storage?

Hello all! new to this forum! I own a '86 overnighter hull with a '04 Honda 150... had it surveyed and am happy with things thus far.
I have a question specific to the Bimini cover that it came with.. and should preface this by saying I dont know a thing about bimini's-i like the sun more than i should and waaay more than my wife and kids...

Question:
Part 1.What is the correct way to store the bimini on-board while not in use? - should it fold down in front of the windows/windshield on the ledge? structurally it makes sense to fit it there...
Currently, the antenna mount impedes the ability to swing it forward to fold down & collapse, I can rectify that in the spring by moving the mount down, but is that the way it should be stored?
The bimini cannot collapse and still stand upright... it needs straps for structural support.

Part 2: Once its folded down and collapsed in front of the windshield, whats the best way to strap it down so it doesnt fly up while underway etc?
The boat is moored and exposed to heavy winds at times so leaving it up is not the best option.

thanks much!

Whoa wait-rear legs?!
how can I do that? Where would I start?
this sounds awesome

Although mine is usually up when I am using that boat, I do lower it forward of the windshield when not in use. I use a Bimini top storage bag that has snaps that attach to the deck. When it is supposed to get windy or when I am away for periods of time, I strap the bows to the railings with a bungee cord on both sides. That is keep it from possible lifting in strong winds

Ah nice thank you! Exactly what I was thinking.

Oh wow I am dumb with bimini’s! Thank you. I looked up rear support legs and it’s far too obvious! Thank you!
