Zip Dee question
Zip Dee sells replacement straps in 2 lengths, 32" & 42" for the window awnings.
The longer straps could be shortened to work.

Well, I don't know. If the awning is extending fully one could conclude the
awning material is ok, or it would not extend to its original length. Perhaps
the strap itself shrunk some, but I wouldn't know why.???? My mount straps are
pretty tight.

Yes, they are extending fully, but it's like the material has shrunk.
