:
2.1. Carefully push the lead rail toward the case so that the arms collapse.
While holding the lead rail in this position, firmly tie the elbows of the
spring arms together. Use a minimum 1/2" rope - do not use bungee
cords. When tying the rope, use a non-slip knot such as a square
knot or equivalent.

hold the lead rail steady during the disassembly process.
NOTE: If the awning is closed and cannot be opened, it will be
necessary to drill through the end cap to access the end plate
screws. This will require replacing the end cap to complete the
repair.
