Slideout Topper "Popping"

The topper/awning on my slideout is making a loud popping noise when opening/closing. I initially thought it was my slideout motor making the popping noise, but discovered it to be the slideout topper/awning. As it opens/closes the awning loses tension and gets slack and then suddenly snaps tight again making a loud popping noise.

I had the awning material replaced last February under warranty, do you think that maybe it was not re-assembled correctly? Is this something I can correct or will I have to take it to RV repair shop? When I showed video to the rv shop, the tech said it looked like the spring had worn. I tried to attach video of the issue but unable to do so. I did attach a link to the video of what the slide topper is doing, hopefully it works.

Thanks for your help.
