I have a new awning I've installed. The old Zip Dee hardware has a aluminum tube at the end of the the aluminum awning cover thats attached to the coach. It has approximatly 6" broken off at the ends of the awning attachment, which allows the awning and plastic chording to flap free. Has anyone come up with a repair to this? Or should I order a new aluminum panel from Zip Dee? They are a little pricey but the shipping is just as bad!!

I fingered out what you said.
I'll send you a ^-8" piece that you can slide in and butt up to the other
AL. extrusion by sliding it in the chording then securing it firmly wit 2-3
poprivits,
Call me and we will send them to you n/c.

Thanks Jim for responding. It's funny how it all makes sense when you type it but when you go back and read it over you see how unclear your writing is. Pictures would have helped this.
I'll give you a call and thanks again for helping out on this.

Putting things into words are not my strength.
In turn I always communicate on drawings better.
