Default Awning bracket

The bracket that holds the awning arm has come loose and the screws do not seem to screw into anything in the frame of the Hilo. Any idea of how to hold the bracket on?

There are two methods that have been used on this forum.

1. Remove the wood interior trim piece. Drilling from the bottom up, drill thru the piece of wood. Run bolts from the inside down (counter sink the holes & use washers. Install the bracket using nylon insert nuts. Reinstall the wood trim piece in interior.

2. If the wood is rotted that the bracket is mounted to, add a length of angle iron to the bottom side of the top. Drill & tap holes in the angle iron to mount the bracket. Hope either of the two methods work for you.

Bob

Thanks Bob. How do you remove the inside trim piece without destroying it. There are no screws in it.

Mine were screwed down. Perhaps yours are glued or stapled. Try running a metal putty knife under the piece and gently pry upwards.
