Fiamma Awning

Has anyone changed the end cap on a Fiamma Awning. The one that is facing forward had degraded and split with bits missing out of it. It is 5.5m and I dont relish taking the whole thing off to replace it. I've it covered in tape at the minute.

I’ve taken an F45 (4.5 meters?) off by myself, there’s a good bit of weight in them.
Having a person at each end would make it easy enough if you do have to take it down to work on.

I fitted it myself 18 years ago and I know how much sikaflex I put on everything when I fitted it. It is well and truly stuck and bolted to the van. I bought it in England and brought it back inside the van. You should have seen the sport trying to get it in and out.

Ordered the right hand side cover but lo and behold they sent the left hand one with an invoice for the right one. They couldnt get the proper one to me before I left on hols but said they would refund me and I could keep the left hand one. I ll order the order one when I get back

I remember fitting my Fiamma awning years ago. I took great care to measure the exact distance from the roof edge all the way along to keep it perfectky parallel.
Then I stepped back to admire my work, only to realise that the roof line sloped slightly and the awning, being so feckin perfectly parallel, sloped as well.
Luckily the re- drilled holes didn't show afterwards . 🙄

Thanks but I am in France now. I left it a bit late to get before I left so will get it sorted when I get back. Its well taped up, it has just disintegrated over the years with the sun
