We've used them in the past and they didn't damage our rail. Don't tend to bother greatly with awnings these days. They did seem to work on the few occasions we used them, then I think we lost one and didn't bother replacing them.
I assume you are talking about these:-

Wedgy, I'm aware of three types.
Fiamma do a simple short 8mm diameter aluminium bar with a screw through the diameter. I use these on the opposite side of the van where we travel with a Caravanastore at all times and use it to shade bikes etc when on site. They do a good job of stopping any movement of the Caravanstore bag.
Isabella do a version with a folded stainless steel section with a V in it. The V stops any movement of the awning. We leave one of these in place on the door side as when we slide in a short awning it gives a positive stop to the end so we can always locate it perfectly. We then slide another into place and in effect sandwich the awning in the track.
Final type is similar to the Fiamma but with a screw eye through the diameter, allowing a tie between the end of an awning and it. I have not used these.
