Jon,

The driver's side windows awnings are much easier to install than the patio awnings. Zip Dee's YouTube channel has a great throwback video of a window awning being installed. The video's probably from the 80's and I loved seeing the installers using tailed drills.

There's also a much more recent and longer video with more detail, but it's essentially the same thing. But they do use cordless tools!

I installed the awning rail extrusion upside down, with the C-channel at the top and butted up against the gutter on the underside of the GMC's roof/wall body molding.
