How much wind can the awning actually take?

2019 Montana HC 331RL

We're full-timing right now (working on the farm and getting a house built somewhere down the road) so we're learning as we go on pretty much everything. With the Spring weather has come evenings outside, which means the awning is out. It's a bit windy where we're at though... if a good gust comes up the awning will bounce a bit and may even drop down with the sliding rail system. I've tried to pull it down as far as it will go in the rails and lock it down with the knobs, but it pops right back up no matter how tight I get them.

How much bouncing can this thing take before it starts to damage the frame, tarp, hydraulic lifts, etc.? We obviously don't put it up if there is a storm coming or sustained winds are in the forecast, but sometimes there is nothing you can do about a few sudden bursts coming through.

Any thoughts/feedback are appreciated!
