1. Extend the awning out completely.

2. Disconnect 

power.

3. Use a non-permanent marker to mark the location of the ends of the LED strip.

4. Clamp the canopy harness in the canopy to prevent

the wire from pulling up into the seam of the canopy.
This can be done with a paper clip or similar device
that will not damage the wires or canopy.

5. Remove the slot covers from the ends of the LED

strip and set aside.

6. Remove the existing LED strip from the LED slot.

7. Cut the old LED wires close to the LED strip.  Tape or

secure the wires on the outside of the roller tube.

8. Clean the slot to remove any dirt and tape residue.

9. Starting with the wire leads at the reference mark

made previously, remove the release paper from the
back of the new strip and press the strip into the LED
slot.

10. At the end of the roller tube, cut the LED strip to

match the mark made previously.  To trim the
LED strip, always cut between the 4-pad cluster
as shown.

11. Tape the old LED wires to the new LED wires and

connector.

12. Locate and remove the split grommet from the

roller tube.

13. Carefully pull the wires and connectors out of the

roller tube.  Disconnect the connectors.

14. Carefully feed the new LED connector through the hole in the slot

15. Use the old LED wire to pull the new connector out of the grommet hole.  Remove the tape and old wire

and discard.

16. Connect the canopy harness connector and new LED connector.  Then carefully push the connectors

back into the roller tube.

17. Place the split grommet around the canopy harness and press the grommet into the hole of the roller tube.

18. Press the slot covers into the LED slot.

19. Restore power and test.
