Learn when to replace your Foxwing pole holder with rivets, how to fit it, and what tools you need. A practical guide for Oztent awning owners.
Quick Answer
Replace your Foxwing pole holder when the plastic or rivets crack. The Foxwing Replacement Parts - Pole Holder with Rivets (USD 11.35) is the correct part for most Foxwing awnings. Fitting takes about 15 minutes with a drill and pop rivet tool.
When to Replace the Pole Holder
The pole holder secures your Foxwing awning pole when not in use. Over time, the plastic can crack from UV exposure or the rivets can loosen. If your pole holder wobbles, the rivets are missing, or the plastic is broken, replace it immediately to prevent the pole from falling during travel.
What You Need for the Job
You need the Foxwing Replacement Parts - Pole Holder with Rivets (part number available in the diagram). This kit includes the plastic holder and new rivets. Tools required: a drill with a 3/16-inch bit (or the size matching your old rivets), a pop rivet gun, and safety glasses. No special skills are needed.
Compatibility Note
This pole holder fits most Foxwing awnings, including the Foxwing 2500 and Foxwing 2000. It does not fit the Foxwing Batwing or other Oztent awnings. If you have a Foxwing Batwing, check the Oztent diagram for the correct part. The pole holder with rivets is a direct replacement for the original part.
Decision Rules for Pole Holder Replacement
- Check the Damage: Inspect the plastic holder for cracks and the rivets for looseness or missing heads. If the holder is intact but rivets are loose, you can re-rivet with the included rivets. If the plastic is cracked, replace the entire holder.
- Remove the Old Holder: Drill out the old rivets using a drill bit slightly larger than the rivet head. Be careful not to enlarge the mounting holes in the awning rail. Remove the old holder. Keep the old rivet heads for size reference.
- Install the New Holder: Position the new pole holder in the same location. Insert the new rivets through the holder and awning rail. Use a pop rivet gun to secure. Ensure the holder is oriented correctly (the pole slot should face outward). Do not overtighten the rivets; the holder should not deform.
- Test the Fit: Insert the Foxwing pole into the holder. It should click in securely and not wobble. If it is loose, the rivets may be too far apart or the holder is damaged. If the pole does not fit, double-check the part number.
