Fiamma Awning Closure Issue

[commodor47]

Our awning has not retracted properly for some time. I decided to take a closer look at situation and noticed at least two contributing factors. The leading edge of the awning (which I will refer to as the "outrigger") had a slight inward curve (bowed in towards the TM). This slight curve prevented the awning from retracting completely. The red tab nearest the entry did not retract indicating the awning was not locked securely. I could see the extra space along the bottom and top of the awning case get larger towards the TM entry end of the awning. The second factor is the alignment of the extension arm elbows (see attached pdf file). Also attached is a Word Document tutorial on the adjustments I made to correct the awning retraction issue.
