Hidden awning rail?

The ones you fit without the roof bar actually tend to be more hidden as they can sit down in the drain channel - one thing to be mindful of is the this means the awning fabric can sit right on the paintwork and rub depending on your awning.

The ones you fit with a roof bar have to have the channel sitting up and out on the roof itself to give the roof bar feet room, so you are more likely to see the channel from the side. Of course the roof bar offers some distraction here and the channel might be taken for part of those fittings.
 
This is from when I fitted the second rail, you can see it sits quite low in the channel but also the way the rear is very slightly taller than the roof as it gently curves down the last 6 inches to the rear.
