Cheers, Harry Seems to me you'd have to pierce slits in the awning at the pole for the rack feet to pass through, right? Because the awning pole lies in the trough of the gutter, held down by its own clamps. Hmmm...maybe fabricate a rigid trough that fastens to the outside of the rack feet and becomes a substitute gutter for the awning to clamp to? It's not really strong enough to simply attach only to the two feet. You might need an extra little skirt for weather sealing? Yrs, d |
