What gives?

Mike,

It sounds like you have 2 awning springs and one of them is either broken or not properly tensioned. To do this, you have to very carefully remove the rafter arm so you can turn the fitting to re-tension the spring. If this is like most other awnings, right side tensions counter clockwise and left side tensions clockwise. To be sure they are equal, you have to release all of the tension in both and apply the same # of turns to each.
