Wondering if the $10 awning roller is worth it? Does it work or does it actually wear the awning more than the door ever would?
I usually tilt my awning (high side towards my door) to prevent it from rubbing, but if this does what it says it might be worth it.
Are there any other options out there?

We have one on our door and very rarely does it hit the awning, but for those rare times that I forget to put it up higher it does save the awning. The edge of our door is pretty sharp.

$10.00 for a stupidity clause on the awning and door is pretty cheap.

I have one and love it. Especially with a three year old climbing in and out all day. He definately doesnt care if the awning is too low.

If your door is sharp or square at the top corners then I say go for it. If its round then I wouldn't bother.

For $10 it's certainly worth the price compared to a new awning. Had one on a older TT that had a sharp corner. Glad it was there many a times.

I have one and they do save your awning if you do not have it up high enough. Well worth the $10.
