Apparatus for mounting awning panels adjacent the roof fascia, having an overlapping roof drip edge includes a header having a first plate adapted to be mounted flush with the fascia and having a flange extending underneath the drip edge. The header is provided with a channel along the upper edge thereof, with a flap having a flange along an edge thereof, the flange of the flap engaging the header in the channel. The other edge of the flap is fastened to the field of the awning panel, and a strip of sealing material is disposed along the interface between the flap and the channel.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION The apparatus in accordance with the present invention will now be described with reference to FIG.
1.
The structure, which is referred to generally by the reference numeral 10, is shown in association with a roof fascia panel 12 having a wooden border strip 14 along the upper edge thereof.
A rain drip edge 16 overlaps the fascia panel 12 in the edge molding 14, with a small space between the drip edge 16 and the edge 14.
The apparatus 10 is utilized in conjunction with awning panels 18, similar to the awning panels 34, 42 of U.

2,629,903, both the Bird and Tate patents being described in greater detail above.
In the particular embodiment of FIG.
1, the awning panel 18 is relatively thick with respect to a thin awning panel 19 of the type shown in FIG.
2 and which will be described in greater detail below with reference thereto.
The awning panel 18 includes a butt plate 20 on one edge thereof, the plate 20 being fastened against a wall header, referred to generally as 24, and thence against the fascia panel 12 by plural fasteners, such as screws 22.
The header 24 includes a vertical plate 26 and a horizontal plate 28 extending from the bottom thereof.
The header 24 further includes a second horizontal plate 30 along the upper edge thereof and a flange 32 extending from the upper plate 30 and between the roof edge 14 and the rain drip edge 16.
This flange 32 forms a moisture barrier for rain falling over the rain drip edge 16.
The structure 10 further includes a channel 34 extending along the peripheral edge of the upper plate 30, the channel 34 defined by a hook 36 at the peripheral edge thereof and a lip 38 extending in a curve underneath the hook, the hook and lip being spaced apart a distance sufficient to allow a flap 40 to be installed underneath the hook from the front of the channel 34.
The flap 40 is formed of a flat plate having end flanges 42, 44 at the peripheral edges thereof, the flanges 42, 44 extending in opposite directions with respect to each other
