Jps190 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 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.

connor77 Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 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. 6 2021 Elite 2 Hull # 832 "Bucket List" 2021 F250 7.3L Gas / 4.30 AR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did exactly what conner77 did. All's well after 2 1/2 months.

New2Oliver Posted Friday at 12:20 AM Share Posted Friday at 12:20 AM Thanks. Mine is identical on this end. The opposite end seems to be snugged up OK. Does anyone have anything more specific on the tool? SAE? Metric? Size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
