The material on my main awning is out of wack so that when it rolls up (electric awning) the brackets don't close over fully. When open you can clearly see that the material is not aligned from where it mounts in the track on the trailer to the track on the slide roller.

I tried, like a fool, to slide the material in the track thinking it might be simple ... wrong!

Anyone have any ideas on how to do this? The dealer had to replace the awning material shortly after purchase and I don't think it was ever put on quite right or maybe it has moved a bit over the last 18 months. I hate to take it to the dealer for what should be a fairly simple adjustment.

Would spraying the track with silicone spray help it slide?
