Thule awning

[7735]

We have a Thule wind out awning on our Burstner. I cannot get the legs to lock in a down position. There are silly little plastic catches which are supposed to lock with “a click” anybody else had trouble with a Thule awning.

Wind out your awning drop down the legs adjust to correct height then pull / bend the plastic clips upwards to lock the leg!

Thanks Simon, did try that but was afraid of breaking the plastic fitting, will try again when the wind drops.

Yes,
I thought I would break mine too.
WD40 solved the problem, just work it in slowly and remove the excess as best you can.

I totally agree with ‘they feel flimsy and will break’, I thought the same but 6 years on still think they will snap but haven’t yet ?

same here , but brand new , was convinced it would break , looked on YouTube , it works fine , just goes against the grain to put so much force into a bit of plastic ?
