Awning Noise

[bono]

Hello,

My awning makes a noise coming from the left arm, usually only when closing. Any idea what is wrong?

Thanks!

I lube all the moving parts a few times a season.

The piston needs some dry PTF lube.

Make sure that your awning nuts are loose when retracting. X2 on the above suggestions.

Thanks Guys! All nuts are loose.

Grumpy - is this an example of the product you are referring to?

Looks fine. Any silicon spray is good. Mine makes an ugly noise particularly when wet. But I keep a can of spray and life is good. Oh, the note above on the "loose" nuts is a must.
