Tension Knob on awning arm

So when you are loosing up the tension knobs on the awning arms what do you do if one comes off and the washer thing comes off as well. How do you get it back on.
  • Just a note, your not supposed to post the same thing in multiple forums.
  • Did the inside threaded part disappear down the arm? That happened to me once...I could see the darn thing and even move it, but I could NOT get it to stay in place so I could get the knob bolt into it.

    What I finally used to fish/hold it back into position was good ol' duct tape. I stuck a sticky-side-out wad on a stick and jammed the threaded "washer" against the inside lip of the arm long enough to let me get the threading started.

    I sure am more careful now as to how much I unscrew that puppy!
