Both of the tension rafters fit your Thule Hideaway Awning part # TH490010 but it comes down to which length you would prefer. The part # TH307309 is 98-3/8 inches long and the part # TH307307 instead is 78-3/4 inches. Either one will work but it comes down to what length you would want to have the awning at.
