Ok Ok...Not only did a rock knock out the window on the side ...a 'windstorm ninty-eight' happenned before that and ripped our awning right at where it joins to the house..We went ahead and removed it (the whole enchilada) and I figured it was time to replace it...Gorilla Duct tape was not going to be the 'out' this time. But I did save the 'welpcord that inserts and is slid into the long metal slot along the top edge...Then some on lookers said we would probably have to unscrew the whole frame from the AS to have it fixed...due to the mystery of the spring roll up action core Whats that called anyway? So let's hear some feed back on this one. And I promise....NO MORE DISASTERS!
