When rolling up the awning wraps around the bottom side of the spool, which means when it is in the retracted position there is a “valley” that collects debris. Also when extending once it gets started it about falls open the rest of the way.

Any insight would be appreciated. Thank you.
Gramps is correct. The previous owner held the Extend button too long and wound it up backwards. Mine does this if I don't stop quick enough.

The fix is to push the "Retract" button to roll it out, then continue until it's retracted against the side wall. Then use the buttons correctly, stopping before it rolls back up again.
