Several members have gotten free replacements from the mfg. if you do a search you can probably find one of the old threads and see what they did. If I remember right though they reached out to the mfg with the intent of buying a new one but the mfg covered it under warranty.

I can vouch for this. I didn't need to replace my ladder but simply reached out to them about the plugs that go in the ends of the ladder. They sent me a new plug set for free for a 12 year old ladder! Amazing!!!

I don't know if Mandy is still the Sales Manager at Windline, or if Windline is still the selected ladders of choice on the new Yamahas, but I suspect yes to the latter. Call them. They will at least fix your ladder like new for a much cheaper price than a new one.

I would not toss the original. If it's a wind line there is a good chance they will replace it under the lifetime warranty. If not their replacement / exchange price is great compared to buying new.

I r placed my twice already, once for free.

Mine ladder on my 2018 SX195 is binding badly after it was left down accidentally. I contacted Windline, and Phyllis there said they don’t sell the mounting bracket, I would have to buy the whole new ladder for $188. No mention of replacing it for free or for a reduced price.

@MBrown I bent my bracket also by leaving the ladder down. Take it off and you should be able to fix it yourself and reinstall.

Thanks, I’m going to try that before shelling out for a new one.
