Mounting an awning today on the roof rack. Due to the angle of the rack side arms, the awning is on a slight angle. When setting up the awning i noticed the side arms seem to point a bit skyward causing them to bend slightly when all connected up. Is this going to be an issue or is this normal?
I had the same issue so I made a couple of angle brackets to make it verticle. Bolted the brackets to the cross pieces that hold the rack.

Thanks guys. Is a steel rack. Cane with some L brackets to mount to the mesh so may try that and see how we go. Wish i had of tight of that before drilling. Oh well lucky the awning will cover them up.

This is what i did....short bolt in the bottom and a longer one at the top with a nut on either side of the roof rack brace so you can adjust the angle...
Better put some pics so you can get some ideas, now I made the long
yellow beam because I only have a 3/4 rack and had too much up front flapping around IMO.
The yellow bar is bolted to the roof rack mounting plates, it was too low so I made the green bits to
lift it up, its not going anywhere fast if you ask me.
OOI did you mount it on the left or right hand side??
