That's exactly what I did, drill and slot the end cap. I was concerned it may weaken the plastic cap so I added additional rivets holding the cap to the roller tube.
I supported the roller on a ladder and had a couple extra sets of hands.
It is cumbersome to handle all that fabric and feed it into the awning rail and roller at the same time.
All in all it was a lot easier than I anticipated, but then I never saw a video giving instructions. Several years later everything is great.
