Re: [VAL] Re: VAL Digest V3 #808



Thanks again John. I need to give this a shot as we have some very hot  
days out here and shade is so wonderful.

p.s. I bet there's a LOT of sculch in the track since I doubt it's  
been cleaned since '56.

Joann,

We have had it for a couple of years--don't remember exactly.  Yeah,  
you need a ladder to thread it into the track, or at least something  
to stand on.  Sometimes I can get by with our portable step.

The first time is the hardest.  You will have to clean the assorted  
sculch out of the track, and I filed off the sharp corners of the slot  
so it wouldn't peel too much plastic off the awning welt.  Also give  
the track a shot of silicone spray or similar dry film lube.  After  
you get things sorted out it goes in and comes out easily.

See you down the road,
