This is the size consistently reported by Carefree users and installers for tightening and removing this grub screw.

Q: What does this screw actually hold in place?
It secures the remote lock (the long plastic strip) or sliding components inside the awning arm extrusion. Without this screw, the remote lock will fall out or move poorly.

Q: What happens if this screw is missing?
Without this screw, the remote lock or slider inside the arm will not stay in place, which can cause:

• Awnings not locking properly

• Difficulty extending or retracting the awning

• Rattling inside the arm

• Premature wear on the remote lock

Replacing the screw restores proper function.
