Has anybody got a pdq awning, as we have just come back from a few days away and the awning leaked around the stitching, just wondering if any one else as had the same problem or did we buy a friday awning.

Hi Lyn

We have one, ours leaked around the stiching too but so did our full size awning the 1st time we put it up.

But now our full size awning is ok, & hoping that the PDQ will allso bo allright the next time it rains.

(been told before that the stiching has to swell to fill holes properly, don't know if this is just an old wifes tale tho).

What do you think of the zip on the door opening only from the top to the bottom, we thought this was silly.

Apart from the zip we are pleased with our purchase, but will know for sure by the end of the season.

thanks for your reply, we used seal sealent on the stitching twice but it still leaked, and the zip idea is stupid so much so the supplier is collecting it and we are having a refund, hope you have more luck with yours.

forgot to add the pdq had been on the van for a month and when opened to erect my husband got soaked as it had filled with water, this is never right and it had nothing to do with the way it was put on the van, as before it was bought the man that sold it to us fron pyramid said they fit all vans, they have also tryed to say its because the trake on the van may be to big,which is madness.
