Abstract
A stabilizing clamp for securing a retractable awning canopy to an adjacent rafter arm is pivotally mounted on the rafter arm and moveable between a non-use position in alignment with the arm and an extended perpendicular position wherein a pair of clamping jaws releasably grip the side edge of the awning canopy. The clamp is of very low profile so as to not interfere with movement of the awning into a retracted position adjacent a support surface.
