awning rails

[anthony.w]

Hi All,

Does anyone know how difficult it is to re-fit awning rails. I fell over my awing at the weekend and seem to have pulled it away slightly at the bottom front edge. Should this be done proffesionally or should i attemp to do it myself. I understand that once the bead has been removed its quite simple to re do the screws. Does anyone know of any DIY websites, or is it a job for a proffesionals.

I eagerly await hearing any advice.

Thanx All Tony.
