Installing an awning shade

Looking to get one of those awning shades.

Question: Will these work in the awnings that have the LED lights mounted to the roller bar (my term -- not sure what you call it)?

Not sure how they actually mount to that bar. Looks like hooks or something...

Here's what I'm looking at:

I made my own awning extention (blue poly as a test awning)and used the plastic slides with s hooks on the end that you buy to hook party lights to awning. They slide into the extra slot in the awning tube...

There's a second slot? Will have to check that out tomorrow during the daylight.

Thanks!

Go to Shade Pro website & look at Vista Shades, they have are a 6' bottom section which zips onto a top section which stays on the roller, we have them on both awnings & are fantastic. The main awning is a 9' drop & slide awning is an 8' drop.

Led lights have nothing to so with the slot for the s hooks or another rope bolt awning to slide into. Led lights are just stuck to a 1/4" indent in the tube. At least on the carefree awning.

The LEDs will not interfere with the shades I have shown, the lights are in an indent & the shades slide into one of the slots.
The difference between the Vista Shades & the ones Ramn is showing is mine can be down & awnings retracted in a matter of a couple minutes without a ladder.
