Zip Dee question

[Gardner Yeaw]

Bob,
When your awning is closed how is the rafter arm secured?

On mine there is a bolt in the main arm extending at a 45 degree
angle upward. The hook on the rafter arm is flat against the main arm
when stored. If I reversed it the hook would be about an inch away
and it would put quite a bit of sideways stress on it.
