Need ZipDee slat for Sovereign

Anyone out there know of a busted ZipDee awning that has good slats? I need a slat that is 20' 8-1/2" long. Cost of shipping from ZipDee is prohibitive. I will pick up a slat in the Albuquerque-LA-Seattle trriangle.

The problem is that the slot the fabric slides into is so crimped that I'll never get the fabric back in. Anyone got a nice tapered steel rod tool that I can slide inside the slot and tap the edges back into a cylinder?

Now that I've taken it apart, I can also use two shorter slats and cut them to fit the required length.

Thanks, Zep
