Hi hyperdrive,
Thanks for the compliment!
Yes, VivaLaVida's awning is mounted directly to the top. I used 3 L shape Fiama brackets that are bolt through the top. The awning is placed above and bolted from below with special bolts, the head of which fits into a rail integrated into the awning. The only point to take car of is the alignment in height and length of the brackets. As my top is curved in its length, I had to shim the front and rear brackets. Easy to install and reliable so long.
Hope it helps.
