So JDUB,

Did you get ahold of Zip Dee? Is there an approved solution for those of us with XL2's (i.e. no metal to put a latch on) with their awnings?

I'm sure this is a potential disaster waiting to happen to all of us.

To fill everyone in, on an XL2 body, the windows go all the way to the top of the coach. The means that the only place to put a latch (which must be screwed currently into the metal coach), is at the back of the windows. On the passenger side, in particular, there are no ratchet locks, so the only thing holding the awning up to the coach is the strenth of the spring, and one small metal latch at the very back of the awning.

As JDUB found, the wind got under the front of the awning, extended it, and snapped the latch right off. Something is needed to secure the awning at both ends.
