We have your typical slide-in bag with awning on our popup.  During a wind storm, it ripped the actual slide strip for the roof from the bag.  It is REALLY thick plastic, as you all know.  How the heck do I sew it or repair it without a heavy duty sewing machine and no sewing/upholstery company around to repair it?  I do NOT want to bring it to the dealer and do NOT want to pay for a new one.  I tried sewing it with a sail needle and pliers, but that took forever to get it through once.
 
a friend of mine had the same issue the awning and bag totaly seperated from the strip in a heavy rain. She took it to a local upholistary shop and they were able to sew it back on cheap ($25.00)
