Front interior sun shade doesn't fully retract

Need information on the front awning --- is there an adjustment on the upper limit ours doesn't seem to be going all the way up. Don't want to get caught in a camp ground and not get it up, to leave.

Make and model of awning would help.

Hmmmm ok lol I thought you were talking front outside awning !
I guess a more better term would be front interior sun shade.

Maybe a mod can fix the heading for you so other may know of the issue.

We live east of cedar rapids 38 miles.

Thanks.....my DW informed it was a poor choice of nomenclature, guess she was right. Bummer. It would seem it must have a stop somewhere.

I have a small farm in the muscatine area and still go down there to mow and clean up even though I don't farm it anymore.

Your shade is made by MCD Shades. Go to their website and you will find a drop down menue for your shade. You can download the manual and it gives detailed instructions on adjusting your shade. It is easy, first locate the hanging wire with a button on the end, which is located on the left side of the shade near the roller tube.

Refer to the instructions in the manual to adjust.

Happy Trails, Forrest

Here is the manual for my front power window shade.
There is a programming switch hidden in the left side column that you must use to reset the memory or the shade controls.

My front shade seems to be off kilter - possibly from it being parked on an angle where it is stored. The one side of the shade binds up from too much overhang, and prevents smooth operation. It sometimes jams the operation. I have not found this in any of the manuals on how to fix. It would be ideal if I was able to detach the whole role, rewind manually and start over newly aligned. Any input or help on this would be appreciated. Thanks so much.
