Awning Concern..Salem Hemisphere

2013 Salem Hemisphere.
I have read of some problems with this and could use some direction.
The awning arms do not appear to close up completely against the unit. There is about 1" to 1 1/2" left open at the top when the awning is completely "closed" This actually leaves about 4" of the awning unrolled. I have seen some posts about it, and seen several other FR units with the Lippert/Solera awning that do the same thing.
I do see where the right (facing the entry door of the unit) seems to have a slight bend to the right. The left side appears to be straight.
Is this the way these systems should operate ( do not close completely flush against the wall)?
Any advise or suggestions appreciated. Thanks

    Just wanted to thank you. I often find your posts to be very helpful and knowledgable. Thank you.
  • Likewise Dutchman. I'm hoping that through all of the information I have gathered on this today that I can get this worked out. I have noticed that the awning seems to be stretched a little at the seam where it mounts to the rail on the wall. Obviously is pulling as it rolls up/out out of square.
    Hope it is a simple fix.
