The hardware used to secure the Brackets to the awning will depend on the width of the

In most cases, the M6 hardware provided in the kit will be suficient. However, wider
channels may require the use of the M8 Nuts, Bolts and Washers supplied.
Be sure awning is oriented
correctly with the logo
right side up in relation to
the clamps.
