The awning beading is sewn to the awning with a special waterproof sewing
thread. This thread swells when wet to fill the needle holes but thread needs

winds or snowfall we recommend that you take your awning down.

the awning may have for your particular use. Please also check your caravan
awning rail to ensure that it is not damaged or has any sharp edges that could
