Three brackets on AFT roof?

[Duder]

Hi,
Above the sliding door on my van are three, small 'L' shaped brackets which are covered by the AFT when it's down. Only have them on the passenger side, not the drivers side. Can't work out what they do - any ideas? They look a bit like bent over 'U' bolts.

Thanks

they are to do with the AFT locking mechanism...

they are standard fit and people use them for a number of things including ..... putting a pull out awning off it (with brackets) also attatching crockadile clips for tunnel awning

Thanks for the answer - thought they looked ideal for awning type fixings
