Rear day night shade missing...

We pulled into our spot in VA this past Saturday , I was up doing something while my wife was in the back.
She started to lower the sunshades and yelled , we are missing the back day/night shade .. >>?? Really ??

Well it was on the floor behind the sofa, the 3 brackets broke..

I was around the corner form McGeorges Rolling Hill RV so I tried.. they had 6 in stock , I got all 6... Once I replaced them, I used black zip ties in an X pattern around the brackets and mount rail . I figure this will take the pressure off the brackets , and besides , you cannot see them...

Did anyone find better replacement brackets??

The job using two black zip ties in a x pattern works great I've had them on there for over two years problem solved

Mine broke on the first trip out. The replacement ones they sent were made out of metal and they got rid of the plastic clip that broke. I put 4 of them on it and have had no problems since. I f they do go I will go the ty wrap route

I did notice that not only are they all metal , but instead of the 2 ears that break off , it has a solid piece across the entire back.. I can post a pic after I get home if need be .. .
