AWNING PROBLEM
The awning bag and awning ripped off the part that slides in the awning rail. Anyone ever have this happen and how was it reattached?

My 2008 model awning bag thread has finally started to rot out big time from UV rays i guess. My awning part is still ok. Right now I have the whole thing folded over on top of the roof and held in place by stretch ropes haha... Only making short trips right now to WESTMORELAND State Park just 30 miles down the road.
The awning is sewed into the zip-up bags which makes it harder to fix. Almost have to do it yourself or take it to a local BOAT shop. They fix fabric on the boats all the time... All of the fabric for my awning bag is fine - just the threads have rotted away...
I never could figure out exactly what I have here size wise anyway. Did check in with a couple online places to get it repaired but you have to send the whole thing to them for repairs... Only just a tad cheaper than just getting a new one I guess...
I do know of a couple of guys on here using the sewing kits like described above. Saw one guy at a camp ground working away on his awning sewing on the picnic table... Since it comes down from the roof edge so easy I really think that is what I should do... I like the idea above about using 100lb rated fishing line.. You may able to use rivets as well...
Since my awning zip-up bag is totally gone now I will probably take my whole awning down and carry in the back of the truck bed if I ever go on long trip... Just takes a few minutes to re-install again.
