Which of the two slots on the awning rail do others use to attach an awning/kador strip? Is it the larger top slot or the smaller rail slots underneath?  
  
I had tried putting the 6mm kador strip in the larger top rail and it is easy to pull out. I can put the 4mm or 6mm kador strip in the lower rail and it is a tight fit. This has the disadvantage of only being able to pull the kador strip through from the back of the van. I am assuming the top rail is for other fitments such as the emergency tie down strap should the hydraulics fail.
