Zip Dee slide awning.

While putting the new wiper on top of the main slide I noticed the rear anchor for the Zip Dee awning is loose.  It appears to be held in place with two pop rivets.  I would like to replace with two bolts or maybe ????  Any suggestions???  Thanks again in advance for your input.

You can use screws, but don't think you would want bolts as the nuts would show in side the coach. If the anchor is the lower bracket there would not be any spring tension on it as the spring is on the front arm or left end as you stand facing the awning

Scott, Can you fill screw holes with epoxy and then run stainless screws in ?

Give ZipDee a call and ask how they recommend fixing.

Thanks folks - Will check with Jimmy @ Zip Dee.  Was just wondering if anyone knew how the slide was constructed.
