Zip Dee awning

[williamcharrison]

My ? 23' zip dee awning return spring broke and I am considering
replacing the spring(s) myself (against the advice of fellow rv'ers). Has
anyone on the forum done this? Also when I had the awning out
during a rainstorm it leaked badly along an area that appeared to
have been in contact with the cover. I checked and there are no holes
in it, can you re-waterproof an area of the awning?
