Couldn't these things be mounts underneath a sport
rack (Yakima or Thule)?

Subject: '90 Westfalia Van Sun Shade Problem.

We had an awning clamped to the small ledge on the
side of the van and
it fell off without us realising it. It must have been
very dangerous if
it hit following cars, but no-one claimed for damages
for this ( we have
a government run car insurance scheme). A second
awning also came loose
and this time the part of the ledge that it was
attached to came with
it. Now what do we do? Is there another type of awning
that can be
attached and is safer? Is it possible to put another
strip of metal
along the ledge as re-inforcement and then re-attach
the awning?
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Keith Riding,
Vancouver, BC,
Canada.
