Hi All,

We have just bought a Dorema montana awning for our Swift lifestyle the problem we have got is we can't get the skirt to to go through the channel along the bottom. We had a porch awning before and didn't have the problem with that skirt. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem and if there are any remedies.

Many Thanks

Towsure and others do this tool to open up the awning chanel

£3.36 £3.95 inc VAT

Awning Rail Spreader A268 This spreader is specially designed to remove bumps and blockages in the awning rail. Simply insert in to the awning rail and tap through the troublesome area. The compact head is especially effective on awkward corners.

Hi

We had the same problem.We use furniture polish and since then we jut slide iton ever time.

Just spray along the rail trying to get it into the rail and then slide the awning skirt into it.

Hope that works fo you

Hi,

Thank you for your replies I will get one of those awning spreader tools.The problem seems to be that the awning rail channel does not seem wide enough to insert the skirt.

Many thanks
