Awning repair
While in Colorado 3 weeks ago a high wind came up and ripped about a ft of awning material away from the sewn bead flush with the Al extrusion that holds the awning in place. Has anyone been successfu...

I tried to remove the bead out of the extrusion but was very difficult after 20 years. I did try the Gorilla tape before I read your post, not sure of how long that will hold. When I bought the MH the PO had run into a tree branch or something and s****ed the top part of the roll. I like the idea of removing 6 ins of this damaged material. Next years project.
i removed the drip rail
and put the material under the rail
used the rail as a clamp to hold it
screws right thru the material
used 3M polyurethane in the screw holes to make sure everything was water tight
DiCor would also work
