Awning clicks but wont retract automatically
Hi all. Newb here. I hope I posted this in the right section. Got a 05 campmaster toy hauler 28ft. with a A&E 8500 awning. I was messing with it one day and the slider assemblys broke so they don't slide well now and come right out of the rail. I will be replacing those. Anyway, I think this caused the awning to lose its tension on the spring? Is that possible, So I am hoping all I have to do is rewind it and I was looking for help. It dose go back if you "walk it back slowly" and it will click. It just doesn't go back with the force like it should. I found this youtube video .

When rewinding to add the tension back should I have the locking lever in the roll up position or roll down? Do I need to do both sides one at a time? Thanks
