The clips have 5 small lugs that punch through the tarp. The tarp had a rope already sewn into that edge so it was about as easy as it gets.

These clips look easier to use than sewing kedar awning rope to the material.  Do you just slide them into the rail or did you clamp them over a rope?

I order the clips and think I have a good plan in process, will try first with a 12x8 tarp before I buy a 12 x 8 rain awning
The clips are great I hope they work, thinking of flexing a long fiberglass pole for the front

We have a model 179 with the R-Dome.  Has anyone used a pop-up awning?

I have found the clip!! This clip fits in the awning rail and clamps through the tarp. I haven't finished making my tent poles, but it worked great so far for my shade fabric.
