Awning repair assistance

If there is no bead on the awning fabric look in the channel you may have fabric that is old and has torn leaving the bead in the channel. At that point its time to replace the fabric Good luck

Charley, I think you are describing the bead that is permanently attached to the awning and slides into the channel at the top of the sidewall. The awning bead is usually held in place with a small screw screwed into the channel at each end of the bead. Sounds like it has somehow come out of the channel slot.

Yes that is exactly the case. But it appears that there is no bead on the awning material. Nothing for it to slide into the rail. I'm attempting to try and find this "bead" to replace but not having much luck. Maybe I will now that I know what it is called lol. THANK YOU!
