necessary.

used), fabric and polyrod approximately 1" in from the fabric edge
13. On the opposite side, pull the fabric tight then place one (1) #6 x 3/8" screw (b) through the
QuicKonnect (or awning rail if the QuicKonnect is not used), fabric and polyrod approximately 1" in from

14.1. At the roller tube, connect the canopy harness connector and LED connector. Then carefully
push the connectors into the roller tube.
14.2. Place the split grommet over the canopy harness and press the grommet into the hole of the
roller tube.
14.3. At the vehicle wall, route the new canopy harness through the wall to the switch.
Tip: Tie the new harness to the old harness that was cut previously. Use the old harness to pull
the new harness through the wall to the desired location.
14.4. At the vehicle wall, provide some slack between the canopy and wall. Seal the wall entrance
hole and harness with a quality silicone sealant.
14.5. Connect the new harness to the switch. Two (2) .187, 18-24 awg female disconnects are provided if
connecting to a switch.

Alternate method:
At the wall, splice the new harness to the existing harness using 24 awg butt
connectors. Push the connectors into the vehicle wall. Seal the wall entrance hole and wires
with a quality silicone sealant.
NOTE:
Be sure to allow enough harness from the canopy to provide some slack for the harness
and adequate length for the connectors to be pushed inside the wall before sealing the hole and
harness with a quality silicone sealant.
