Carrefree of Colorado patio awnings do not have a wind sensor. They do have a movement sensor. It is part of the control module in the forward end cap where the roller motor is located. It is simply a remove and replace operation In order for the movement sensor to work, the control module must be powered continually. If your control unit is not continually powered you will need the upgrade kit. When the control module senses two rapid up and down movements within 5 seconds, the awning will retract. You can test the system by hitting the roller's end with a stick or broom twice in rapid succession. The "direct response unit" is available as a separate unit from Carefree of Colorado or on Amazon.
To answer the installation the end caps just snap on and are easily dislodged. Most of us have learned to add a little silicone to the edges of the snap locks so the covers do not blow off on rough roads.
