Could you use awning piping to slide into your awning rail put eyelets into the section that is not in the awning rail and put carabiners through these eyelets that could attach to your sail clips?

We used the Obelink when we had the caravan. A good solution as a sun shade, and despite looking flimsy, stood up to some strongish winds. Beware, it pools badly when raining, and the weight of water collapses it.
If you've got the three pole version, you can lift the centre pole and drop the sides to get a reasonable runoff - usually down the guys! We went in the end for the Tencate (sailcloth) version, which is woven in one piece. The cheaper version, in polyester, had a seam which dripped, just where we sat.

I tried all sorts of configurations, non seemed to solve the problem. I had two weeks in the Dordogne which was very wet.
You're probably right, the heavier version is better.
Thats what I use. A Tencate canopy with awning beading & 3 poles. That way it makes a pitched roof so water runs off. I use 2 guys on each pole & it stays up ok. A selection of pegs is needed for different types of ground because it relys on pegs staying firm to stay up.
Hi - I know this is an old post but I still found it useful 👌🏻 We got some of the awning stoppers off eBay and as a back up there are suction cup anchors you can also get that stick on anywhere. That a some tent poles. Job done 👍🏻
