Do NOT

fasten top mounting bracket over awning rail and against rubber cap molding (if RV's roof construction has rounded corners). Otherwise , water leakage could occur.

The relationship between solid structure and awning rail will determine location of top mounting brackets . Possible positions for top mounting brackets include :
