Slide out awning issue

So I hit the rear end of the awning that covers the slide out. It broke the pin that is on the end cap. Need a replacement. Would rather do it myself. But Thor says to take it to the dealer. Having problems even finding the part.Click image for larger version

More than likely it is a Carefree of Colorado slide awning and you should be able to find the matching part on their web site.

Yup! Thanks, it is the WHOLE spring mechanism!!!! Crap! So.... I will try to put a 5/16-18 die on it, to add threads then you a threaded rod connector and a short piece of threaded rod, drill a hole in it for the retainer pin, and it will be fixed.

Fixed!!! Actually the shaft was long enough to re-drill a hole for the pin that attaches to the end cap with out much strain on it. It’s working fine now. At least I didn’t have to buy a whole new spring assembly
