    I am not aware of any adjustment on awnings I would check the following:

    Are the legs stowing correctly

    Has any dirt got into the mechanism, try to clean.

    Lastly spray the moving parts with silicone grease

    There is some info on line, if you Google something like "Fiamma awning adjustment" you will get several results.

    I've linked a couple for you but there are more.....

    I seem to recall a quite extensive discussion on the Auto Sleeper owners forum but I think that related to Thule awnings, although I suspect they are very similar ....

    We had a similar problem on a Fiamma F45. Same make but obviously much older. I resolved the problem with some help from the MMM forum.

    The spring mounting at the winder end had become overtightened (by me) when adjusting the side to side droop of the arms. The Fiamma advice sheet said adjust the upper nut.

    I slackened off the upper nut which then allowed the body to slide in and out of the fully-in position. It's just a short slot in the nylon which allows the assembly to pivot as the awning closes.

    I cleaned and lubricated the assembly, retightened the nut, and never had any problems after that.

    Hope this helps!
