Yes it does, thank you.......
It appears that the new ones have a drop. Mine happens to be a 3" drop, while a friend of mine (also with a Cafe) has a 1" drop. So, I guess it just comes down to how much the drop should be. I would imagine that, to a certain extent, they have a little to work with (as far as making adjustments) when fixing the bolster seat to the base. Well, I hope anyway.

I think that there is a lot of varience in individual bases. I'll bet that yours will work just fine.

Ordinarilly, I probably wouldn't even consider it.......that's is, installing a bimini top. But, as I have a family now, the young kids would definately benefit from the shade. Especially, here in South Florida.
I have a hard time wrapping my mind around it. To me, it's almost like putting snow tires on a Ferrari.....know what I mean? Does it tuck away nicely or is it in your face when it's laid down?

When I'm not going to use it, I just release the two pins, and leave it in my storage. I only use it probably 25% of the time.
A friend of mine had his mounted under the hatch when stowed underway, but that seems like alot of extra work (when putting it away) without much benefit...it really doesn't get in the way much as it stowed in the picture.

Out here in Havasu, it gets over 115 on some days (yeah, but it's a dry heat...lol)...so without some shade, you can get cooked. Here's a pic of the bimini stowed underway (but with my old hatch and interior):
