Awning Alignment Problem

[Retired and Happy]

My awning support arms have become misaligned, so that they do not fold up properly. The awning has been through a couple of storms. It appears the tops of the supports are abou9t an inch or so wider than the bottoms, but I can find no adjustment to realign the supports. They were aligned for a couple of years before the first storm. Any suggestions? (Space 124 at the rally.)

Ken, If the outer part of the arms are hitting the rafter (inner when retracted) on the same side (right-forward or left-rearward) then the fabric has shifted in the grove of the tube or in the awning rail. Since they usually will secure the spline in the awning rail with a screw I suspect the fabric has slipped in the tube side. Simply move the fabric in the opposite direction you need the outer arms to go until it will retract and close properly. Good luck and stay safe.
