FWIW, the motor is working against the springs when retracting, so if it's a bit weak, that is when it will show up. The springs help extend it and basically the motor just keeps the arms from going out too abruptly.
You have that half backwards the Motor is AIDED by the springs when retracting (Well some of them opposed by others)
IF its an A&E weather pro then there are two gas struts that the Motor is workign against but there is a coil spring in the non-motor end of the roller that aids the motor
Now sure about Carefree
To the OP.. You might need to add a turn or two of Pre-tension to the coil spring.. I'm not going to tell you how as it is a "Dangerous" job.. Get a service tech to do it.
