Interesting.  I guess that's possible. Had no issues till we did this swap. I'll have to try that. 

We wound it counter clockwise. We went clockwise to loosen the tension. 

I'm positive we marked the motor on the right hand side and put it back the way it came out. Could that be an issue? Awning out of alignment by a smidge?

We just replaced our awning  fabric and had the same issue. BTW.. I think my wife and I both have a broken finger. Anyhow... we followed what was posted above. We did 9 rotations. The awning now can't roll back in. We have readjusted the torsion down (I'm thinking too much) to 4 rotations. Better... but still very slow to retract and stops half way. Need to wait 1 minute and then it will go again. I'm thinking the motor is over heating? Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?
