Sail slugs, or keder tape. Those are the two most often sourced ways to mount a home made awning.

We think we want to make our own semi-sort-of awning. Our R-179 was built with the track used for the R-dome, and is not reinforced to use the factory awning. The R-dome itself is "too much", we just want a shaded area on the entry side of the pod (that is quick and easy to put up/take down).

However, I've never looked at an R-dome up close, so I'm not sure how it attaches to the side of the pod. I'm assuming there are some sort of buttons or other thing that is sewn into the edge of the R-dome. That's what we need. Does anyone know where we can get these thing(s)? As an alternative, if anyone has a torn/worn out R-dome, we would like to recover the track slider things.
