[QUOTE="CreviceSucker, post: 550332, member: 1804"] Lots of awnings from china have manufacturing defects that could cause them to fall off the mounts and spear through an oncoming vehicle windscreen If you drill out all of the soft aluminium rivets and replace them with 4.8 mm diameter stainless steel rivets plus use double the number of rivets too. having your awning fall off your vehicle is one thing , having it spear through somebodies windscreen is another. first photo before and after repair.
