What causes the day fabric to tear?
If the tear is at either end of the center rail, an end cap has come out allowing the inner rail to slide sideways. Replacing the end cap will prevent further damage. Sometimes a tear occurs at the holes in the fabric when a grommet has come out or the cord cuts through the grommet and part of the plastic inner rail. Either problem can be repaired but the job is best completed by a professional shop.
