not sure but I'll ask Leer next week when I pick mine up...
I've had three other canopys in the past 20 years and always used "box end wrench snug" for torque.

I went with tight enough to bend the bolts - the piece that goes in the channel has a little wiggle when loose. This has kept mine from shifting.
