I take my awning rod and use it to lock the roller
Stick the bent end of rod into hole on end cap of roller (opposite end of locking pawl lever or motor drive)
Rod hanging straight down place it behind the awning arms and strap it in place using velcro straps, bungee cords, zip ties etc)
Roller won't move...awning material can not unfurl
This is an modification I got from 'robsouth' that use to post here
