I think all these problems have the same roots- the fabric gets off-square, and then it can't roll up properly.
Awning fabric is supposed to be installed with retaining screws on both roller and rig side, purpose being to keep things squared up. Some installs don't have the screws, and on others the screws fall out. In nearly every case, squaring up the awning fabric so that when deployed all corners are at perfect right angles will solve the problem.
And once you've found that "sweet spot", drive some retaining screws into the fabric!
