Slide-out awning

[Ed_Manifold]

I keep my motorhome in a covered facility and the last time I parked it in there I bumped the slide out awning on a support post and knocked off a piece of the awning on the left side.The broken piece is ring approx. a 1/2" wide with a foot protruding from the ring with a rubber end on the foot. It looks like it fastens next to the roll out mechanism. What does this piece do, do I need it, and where can I get a replacement part for it?

Yes. thank-you Stark Naked for your help. I think I have a Dometic but I will have to check. Thanks again.

Do a google search for "rv slide topper anti billowing kit". It's the arm that sticks out on the front of the topper that prevents the wind from blowing the topper open while driving.

They are available in black or white.

Here's an example of what I think you're looking for: https://www.amazon.com/Dometic-3109252-001B-Polar-Anti-Billow-Hardware/dp/B002UBZKA2
