My manual awning would hang up because fabric had shifted on roller.
This would cause awning to roll up cockeyed and sometimes it would not stow properly and sometimes it would not release and extend properly.
Fabric in top rail is held in place by screw at each end of material into track......no shifting.
But on roller no such screws so fabric can move inside grove on roller.
I repositioned awning material so that edge of fabric was same distance from end of roller tube. Then installed a short shelf tapping screw right at edge of fabric into roller grove.
Haven't had an awning stowing/extending issue since.
Ours stuck on the left side too before replacing the awning fabric. Look at the arms on the left side, is the outer/bottom arm rubbing against the upper arm when closing. As mentioned shifted fabric will do it. Ours works perfect since we replaced the fabric.
