Great weekend but... (help!)

It was a great weekend for camping and four wheeling in the Shoshone National Forest but I've got some fresh damage.

Windstorm ripped my awning right at the TH. Grrrr. How do I remove whats left of the material from the TH so I can replace it? I've tried to force it out one side but it seems to take far more push than I can have. Is there some trick to this I'm missing?

Worse the TH got tangled in a tree (don't ask) and partially pulled the front cap away from the TH body. How do you fix this?

You don't see the 4" hunk of aluminum railing that's been ripped away?

I'll get some better pictures, these ones must not be good enough.

I assume you're talking about the awning. I'll look for screws, dunno how I would have missed 'em the first time but hey...thanks for the help!
