Foam a Box Awning June 15, 2015, 01:06:09 pm Yahoo Message Number: 153342I recently lubed the awning with WD40 and have noticed that the red tabs do not come down when it's closed up. Cleaned up all the mechanisms with penetrating oil spray (contains ether) and then relubed with spray white grease. The tab mechanism is free and rotates fine, the awning appears to lock securely but the red tabs do not come down. Any ideas? Jack in Richmond, VA

If you do get an answer, please post it. On my original Fiamma awning, the tabs stopped working after 3-4 years. My replacement of 2 yrs ago is working fine. I lost the original to a wind gust.Chris

The red tabs move upwards and disappear, when fully closed. Sounds like yours is working correctly.Larry
