What are you asking?.. need more info..
Are you wanting to tear your awning off, and wanting to make sure you only have small lag screws???

Moved on to the next thing...
I was having problems with mine, too...
The awning arm got bent once and doesn't always close right.
I had it fixed under warranty, but after close inspection the dealership didn't replace it, but apparently attempted to bend it back into shape instead.
Well...it didn't work!
Anyway, the four screws on the front end of the awning track kept coming loose...I'd tighten them.
Well, while sitting outside near Holbrook, Arizona back in June I noticed about a foot of the awning track was completely pulled out away from the wall.
That afternoon I drove over to Winslow, AZ to stand on the corner (come on...who hasn't done that
?) and stopped at a Tractor Supply Store in Holbrook on the way back to the RV park and picked up some lag screws with a larger screw and more aggressive thread pattern and put those into the existing screw holes and drilled a few more and put the bigger screws in there.
So far they are holding strong!
