- Go to the other end, insure that the mounting bar in level, and fasten this end
- Fasten other mounting bolts as referenced in the installation manual
- Caulk the mounting bar around its edges to prevent moisture and insects from getting behind bars
- Attach the support arms to the camelback bracket already mounted on the edge canopy rafter at the front of the awning. Be sure to put the head of the bolt on the outside to avoid tearing the fabric
