I wonder if the fiberglass body has a bow in the middle resulting in the gap at the ends.

Does not appear so. The outer rail of the awning has a definite bow.

perhaps the folding frame puts outer tension on the ends and since the arms do not attach to the middle there is a slight bow.
In the pic you posted, is the edge of the awning frayed or scuffed?

It's just a blurred thread.

While playing with the awning today and reading the instructions I also decided to test the wind sensor. By shaking the awning rail a few inches for about 8 seconds it automatically retracts. Very cool.

Hi Jim,
The gap in front is about a pinkie finger wide ( about 5/8") the gap in the rear is not as much.

I will get some step by step photos for adjusting the awning and post them here on Monday.
Took awhile to figure it out, but it is an easy adjustment.

You know it's Sunday night? Supposed to be a day of rest.
