Our 2005 26.5 MB's awning is needing some work. Our awning "end caps" need replaced and the "shock absorbers" are both broken. I did a search here and found some helpful info, but unfortunately I can't narrow down which awning we have due to the sticker being faded. I attached a picture and I think that the "F45i" is marked to the left and in the middle possibly "4.0" is marked? We don't have any stickers anywhere else that I see other than Dometic one which was useless. It is really faded so I'm not sure and we don't have any other documentation for the awning in our LD book.
I am thinking that we have the "Fiamma F45i 4.0" based on the slight color variations on the sticker. My main concern is ordering parts that are wrong.
Can anyone with a similar year or knowledge chime in to confirm I'm finding the right parts or at-least the awning model information. Thanks!
For those looking in the future, I found the parts I think I need here: F45 i 250-400 (http://www.fiammausa.com/en/spare-parts/fiammastore-1476298585/winch-awnings-for-wall-installation-2007488025/f45-i-250-400-en)
Left Shock Absorber Part Info: 98655-123 LEFT HAND CASE BRACKET INSERT
Right Shock Absorber Part Info: 98655-124 RIGHT HAND CASE BRACKET INSERT

I suggest to call Fiamma USA and talk to Marcos Garcia (407-672-0091). He is the parts specialist at Fiamma. With the serial number he should be able to find the right parts for you. Most probably you need the parts that you listed above. You can buy them right away during the same phone call. I recently ordered parts from them on a Wednesday afternoon and got them on Friday.

I have a 2006 RK so probably the same awning. I ordered the shock absorbers you listed and they worked fine. However, I do urge you to call before ordering.

I can't verify the end cap's part numbers but the shock absorbers are the same as our 2003's awning, all the LDs of this time period use the same basic awning, with only the width changed to fit the floorplan.

I agree - he's very helpful...and very responsive....I've been trading emails with him for a couple of weeks

Note that the 4.0 is length in meters, so that is 13'.
