about Aussie Traveller Awning

The post
We were at Redbank Gorge last week and had the Aussie traveller awning up.
Early hours of the mornong we had a wind storm and it blew the awning up and onto the roof of the van.
Nothing broken but it pulled the square rubbers out of their round recievers. How do I get them back in, I've tried washing up detergent and baby oil but trying to get a square peg into a round hole is impossible. I have also unscrewed the nut and screws and taken that rectangular reciever off, but just can't push the rubbers back in.
The photo's show you better. We are heading west from Ayres Rock over The Great Central Road, so are there any dealers on the WA coast.
Cheers,
Chris.
And it was pegged down.

Just pegs or ropes and pegs?
I always use ropes and pegs. | "If you haven't grown up by age 60, you don't have to."

Chris, I suggest you phone Aussie Traveller - their number is on the end plate of the awning.

Phil and Lorraine
there seems to be another less intrusive way.
Let us all know how you went with the knock out the little pin method Chris - did that work?

Here is a little secret, a Trade Secret for you... Now in the end of the tube, there is a roll pin, and you knock that out. Then the rubber is in a slot and it comes out. Then you unbolt the block it goes into and feed it down from the top. Then you re-assemble the whole thing. It is designed with that fuse in the system rather than break something...
Don't forget to replace the wire on the screw bolt.
