Wow, thanks for that offer! High winds tore our 8-9 yr-old awning recently, which still seems solid, but it's obviously weakened an unlikely to withstand much more wind. It isn't possible to just stitch up the tear, I never really expected the tape to hold long, and it's basically not clear to me how to fix this. Maybe cut all the way across starting at the end of the tear, open up the fabric mount/clamp somehow, remove the cut-off remnant fabric, and reclamp on a then-shorter awning? Just not clear how to do the un- and re-clamping of the fabric. If so, maybe no parts are required? Any suggestions would be most welcome.
