Richard,

That happened to us when we first bought the 99. There were no latches; they were all broken off (I failed to notice when going over the coach). So there we were driving to the Newell factory and wham! Both of the Zip Dee awnings that cover the slide outs open up while we are doing 65 mph! Luckily, we didn't break anything.

I pulled over and Louise and I opened the windows and sat on the window sills and re-furled the awnings. Then we lashed them down with nylon tie wraps. It worked until we arrived in Miami and were able to buy some new ones. Thank goodness those windows opened where they did because that was the only way we could have lashed them down.
