Awning Out of Alignment
The material on my main awning is out of wack so that when it rolls up (electric awning) the brackets don't close over fully. When open you can clearly see that the material is not aligned from where ...

OK Electric. I wen't back and read it but somehow I missed that twice :)
Here is why I asked:
Mine gets out of alignment occasionally and it's the top that slides backwards.
I simply lift up the front arm a foot or two while my DW starts to roll up the awning.
By the time it gets rolled up, it has pulled the awning forward on its own.
Very easy to do.
One note is that there is not a set screw on the front of my awning to keep it from sliding forward.
There is a screw at the back, but it does not go through the awning fabric.
I should get up there and screw it in place, but have not had any help to do it.
And this is so easy I have put it off for a couple years.
The screw should NOT go thru the material....just next to the edge of material into the tract/grove.
Well, according to your other post there 'should' be a screw at both ends, but there is not.
It fell out, never was put in because worker dropped it, only had one when they were installing awning.
Put one in or don't. Run it right thru the material. Take the other one out. I don't care. It isn't mine.
Thank you for your informative and thoughtful post.
