Alternate Method of Replacing Awning Fabric?
Hello folks, After 14 good years, it is now time to replace the fabric on our trailer's awning. I have watched lots of videos where the rivets are drilled out of the end cap, multiple marks are mad...

Yes, should have included the brand and model, sorry...
It is a Sunchaser by A&E/Dometic, model 834CU18.400, made 02-28-03.
If I'm not mistaken, the latch will keep the spring from unwinding as long as the latch is not flipped in the other direction (I think?), and as long as the cap is not removed from the roller. That's the whole point of my question - not having to take the cap off at all. And yes, the rib in the awning is creased into the tube and is held in by the cap, thus the need to drill the hole to slide the awning rod/rib/crease THROUGH the cap instead of removing it, if that makes sense.
