I don't know if it was defective or if these awnings are not too well engineered ... Never had an issue even in (very) bad weather with my previous unit.

Until now, I managed to fix every issues by myself, but for this one I think I'll need some help.

Have a nice day, and take care!

Same thing happened to me in NC . I had to drill some holes and used a coat hanger to hold in place, this was after it was retracted .
