Awning adjustment

[Jps190]

Where do I need to start to adjust this correctly.  Do I need to adjust the positions of where the arms attach to the outer rail or is this caused by something else? I want to have an idea before I start messing with it.

Thanks,

John

John, 

I had the same issue with my awning.  There is a small allen-head screw that needs a quarter to half turn that will likely fix your awning to close all the way.  I believe the screw gets turned clockwise but this detail is in the Girard manual for sure.

I would try this first before adjusting anything else.  Mine looked like yours in that it wouldn't close all the way.  I made a very small adjustment to that allen-head screw and now my awning retracts completely.

Same thing happed to us as well.  I did exactly what conner77 did.  All's well after 2 1/2 months.

Best of luck,
