Is it the trim piece that's circled in my attachment below that pulled off? It'd be pretty tough to pull that piece off, but I suppose if the awning caught an edge it might be possible. How did the dislodged aluminum strip occur?

Thanks Chuck,

I see. It looks like the awning caught the trim piece and pulled it away from the slide body. It may have occurred during a slide retraction with a fully extended awning. The awning caught the trim and dislodged it. For folks who don't know, the awning arms are attached to the outside face of the slide body, so the awning extends automatically with the slide. This forms an awning "topper" that protects the roof of the extended slideout body. From that position, a user can go outside to grab the awning loop to further extend the awning into it's fully deployed position.

Chuck,

I would probably get on the phone with Zip Dee to see if they have a service location near where you are. Maybe they can unroll the awning to dislodge the aluminum strip. Then you can unscrew the aluminum trim strip and remove it.

You can find an authorized Zip Dee Dealer just by calling our Customer Service department at 800-338-BEST (2378). No automated voicemail at Zip Dee, our phones are answered in person. Just ask for Customer Service and tell them what State you are in or going to, and they will direct you to the best Zip Dee Dealer in that area.
