Door Awning not retracting

My door awning comes into about 12 to 15 inch's still out and stops.
Tried pushing up, in. still will not come in. Any ideas?
Is it safe to drive with it out that far?

If it is still the Carefree awning on the 16's check to see of the mounting screws have come loose. Also check the knuckle on the arm for binding, spay it with silicone and see if it will free up. I had problems with mine on the 14, finally had to have the awning completely reset at Entegra.
I would not drive it with the awning out, they are not that strong that I would trust it going 60 MPH. The fabric is probably not even rated for 30 MPH.

The Carefree has a manual retract capability, I would think the Girard would also. Check the manual or give them a call...

FYI, door awnings are not on EC PDI checklist.
