Shortening a Carefree awning

All--

Yesterday I visited the Confined Space Rally at the Eagle Creek Overlook just outside of Portland, OR. Francoise and I had a great time and we got to meet Janet and Gary, Stephanie and few others in person... not just as forum avatars.

Of the serveral things I saw on other AS that caused me pause... was the the front mount point for my Carefree awning is in the wrong spot. It looks like one of the PO either got a deal or wanted the "one size bigger" awning. <insert your favority Tim Allen Home Improvement quipe here>

The front part of the awning upper brace is mounted in the upper wrap-around and not into the metal arch support between the window by the door and the front end cap. I'll see if I can dig up a pic.

I looked at the awning (I pulled everything off to get at the blasted Silicone sealer) and the roll with the awning material looks to be long tube of alumuim... so can you cut it down by a foot, remount the caps and then retension it ?
