My favourite part was looking at your nicely faded Rolex coke. Great vid. Going to change my old fabric out now and wanted a quick how to. Thanks lads.
My husband and I just finished reinstalling our awning, thanks to your video. Many thanks. We are now looking for a motor for this awning. Does anyone know a company who sells them? We are in Montreal, Canada, but would consider ordering if too far.
Do you really want to be a slave to the Sunsetter ?
It's a nice video, it fails to mention the need to reprogram and set the limits each time a recover is done on a retractable with an electric motor. Walking through costumers on that one can sometimes be a challenging event.
How can I tighten the fabric? I installed one but the fabric is not tight
Hi , I tried to follow the instructions and after I secure the awning arms tight with rope I tried open up awning in order to remove the old fabric and saw something did not hold the awning arms tight so closed the awning back and tried to open up and this time my awning won't retract /close fully on the right side but sure what happened at all …. can you help ?
the old one you took off is better than mine.
put solar panels on them.
Thanks, Matt and everyone, the vid was quite informative and was well done. Kidding about the tongue. Sorry
Matt Grant needs to work on his tongue discipline. Don't want that inadvertently rolled up with the awning do you?
FYI, I just called the company and they no longer make kits by order for you to replace the cloth on your awning. They'll sell you the fabric, thread, etc. to sew your own- ridiculous! Buzzman Awnings in FL will still make custom kits.
With little modification could the fabric be turned around …what I mean is put the valance end in the roller and vice versa ?
