Awning not locking (1 Viewer)

[The Wino]

Our awning looks like it's not locking shut properly any tip on maintenance I have a little time spare at the moment!!!
Its a fiamma I think f45
Should the red tab pop out when it's fully wound in?

There's a good video on Youtube

On both videos ive seen the gap is on left hand side.
Mine is on the right. Is the adjustment using the same wheelcog on the lhs but in the opposite direction?

Mine is a f45s and to my eyes doesn't have the same adjustment device as the one in the video. Any ideas?

My Fiamma F65 (circa 2010) has the awning winder on the LHS. The adjustment is on the upper bolt head at the same end as the awning winder.

Can't remember which way the bolt head has to be rotated. Depends on which end is sticking out. I found the adjustment instructions on the Fiamma website under installation advice.

EDIT: looking at the above pic, it could be the lower bolt head that is the one for adjustment.

Thanks Wagoneer

Just adjusted top bolt on rhs about quarter turn anticlockwise . Now fits better but red tab still not moving and engaging. On unwinding still needs a bit of persuading (pulling) out then jumps out both sdes and winds as normal.

Ours does this too, but I’ve got used to it. It just needs a flick out now and again.

I don’t know about dinner, but being here in California waiting to fly home I could murder a Full English breakfast. The bacon here is rubbish, can’t get any decent stuff.

Well we’ve been here for some 7 weeks now and never seen a gun queue. In fact where we are in Hemet California, everything seems quite orderly. A few shortages but not many. We have to wear gloves and masks though, it’s compulsory, can’t buy them so made one.
