Fiamma awning

[Manic]

We have a Fiamma F45s awning and it doesn’t close up on the end opposite the winder.
I’ve done the adjustment to tension the fabric, Whig h is supposed to fix it but no still doesn’t go fully on.
Any suggestions
Cheers

If you have done the adjustments, is there something that's stopping it from retracting in the housing?

Can’t see anything

We have the same, which has slowly bowed out at either end over the last 10 years but only by about 1 centimetre.

I assume it is something to do with it being flexed in hot weather, because I am always careful winding it in and don’t end to hang things from it. Or it could be the tie-down cables pulling?

Had some wind damage to the fabric on my F45S.
Was hugely windy and I'd foolishly left it out.
Got a repair patch and fitted OK, but wasn't closing at one end. One of the cantilever arms had moved slightly, nut/bolt at top had moved a touch, probably by the wind.
Had to move it by trial and error to get it right. There were no marks visible to show where it was originally.
Only moved 10mms or so in the end.
The other one was also loose but hadn't moved.
Tightened them up and all other securing screws etc.
Now fine.

We fixed ours (although a Thule), but adding a small piece of gorilla tape to the roller just at the rear end. Wound out awning fully and then unscrewed the plastic cover over the roller to expose it.

When fully wound out have you measured the distance from the cassette to the front rail? Are they the same ( within a few mm )!

That will be my next move
Thanks for the other suggestions, I’m going to also play about with arm positioning
