Carefree of Colorado awning part

Here's a picture of my front door and the awning. You will notice that the arms are almost as long as the main awning arms so I can't see that being used over a window. As Doug said, the front arm is also angled to fit the contour of the entry door. It is electric and works almost the same as my main awning to extend and retract. The gas struts are located on the lower part of each arm. They are 9 inches long extended and about 5 inches collapsed. You can also see a similar picture in my profile.

BTW, I did find a Carefree retail shop that sells the original strut and I don't have to buy the whole arm.
