Assuming you do not have one of the springs broken...only the last few inches does not roll up you have to remove the fabric. There should be a hole to put a nail in on one end to lock the tube from spinning while you slide the fabric out. Holding the tube by hand remove the nail and rotate the tube probably two turns tighter and put the nail back in...slide the fabric back in and remove the nail.
If the hems on both ends are starting to fail/break have them resown while off. All four of my toppers had this problem and there was enough unused fabric on three of them to cut the used off to exposing the unused.
Thanks Dick,
That is what I'm doing - From my old days in the boat business I've got a good fabric guy - will likely reverse (Inside to outside) too, so as to put the unexposed side out so as to get a few more years out of it.
Was able to get them both in with a little on the top not wound up - then as we went down the road they bounced their way in.
Springs not broken, just like me a little older and not as quick as they once were. .:B
Should be fine, lots of work to do on that roof line while I have the scafell set up.
Thanks,
Bill
