I have been having problems with the Carefree awning rear cap coming loose and disengaging the spring from the roller. I keep an eye on it and took it apart this week. I noticed the two Large bolts (1/4 x 1 1/2") thread thru the cap and into a channel on the metal cover, but the metal cover channel has no threads and is either 5/32" or greater... in other words the bolt simply slides in and out without touching anything... Is this correct? I am looking for a rubber sleeve to glue in there so a bolt would one have something to grip while the bolt will expand into the channel to be more secure.
Anyone else having this issue? What were your repair ideas.
