Keep your roll-up patio awning rock-solid with genuine Carefree of Colorado 901022 replacement rafter knobs and clamps. These small but critical pieces of hardware lock the upper rafter sliding brace arms in position, preventing unwanted movement and keeping your awning pitched correctly whether you are set up for the afternoon or living out of your rig full-time.
Over time, the knobs and clamps that hold your awning's upper rafter brace arms in place take a beating from road vibration, UV exposure, and repeated setup-and-teardown cycles. A worn or broken rafter knob lets the brace arm slide out of position, which causes the awning fabric to sag unevenly, puts stress on the roller tube, and can lead to premature wear or a collapsed awning in gusty conditions.
The Carefree 901022 set replaces both the front and rear upper rafter brace knobs and their paired clamps in one purchase, so you restore full function without a parts-hunting hassle. Each knob threads onto a 1/4-inch diameter stud and tightens against the clamp to pinch the rafter arm securely at the selected pitch angle.
Designed and manufactured by Carefree of Colorado specifically for Spirit FX, Fiesta, and Simplicity roll-up awning models -- no modification or adaptation needed.
Kit includes 2 rafter knobs and 2 matching clamps, enough to service both the front and rear upper rafter brace positions in a single repair.
Knobs thread onto 1/4-inch diameter studs, consistent with Carefree's standard rafter hardware across the Spirit FX, Fiesta, and Simplicity families.
Manufactured domestically and backed by Carefree of Colorado's limited 1-year manufacturer warranty.
Replace the rafter knobs and clamps if you notice any of the following:
This part replaces the upper rafter sliding brace arm hardware only. It does not include the rafter arms themselves, the roller tube, torsion bar, end caps, or any other awning structural components. Verify that your existing rafter brace arms are undamaged before installing new knobs and clamps.
After installation, periodically check that knobs are fully tightened before travel. Road vibration can gradually loosen the hardware. A light application of UV-resistant protectant to the knob body will extend its service life in sunny climates.
