• Picking Out Replacement Struts for Solera Awning Gas Struts
  If you are unsure which Solera awning strut replacement you need you can measure what you have to determine which you could need. The # LC260282 measures 24.38" when extended and 14.70" when retracted and the # LC280343 measures 26.46" when extended and 15.04" when retracted. The fittings of the struts need to press on. There's not really much more beyond that when installing them.

• Replacement Gas Shock for a Carefree 032289-001 150lbs Rating
  Thanks for reaching out, Richard. We may have a gas strut that will work for you, but it won’t be an exact replacement for the Carefree part. One option is the Lippert Replacement Gas Strut # LC260282. It’s rated for 124-144 lbs, has an extended length of 24", a compressed length of 15", and uses eyelet-style ends. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find the dimensions of the original Carefree strut, so I can’t say for sure whether this one will fit your application. I also saw that you...

• Removal of Starlock Washer on Solera Gas Strut
  I reached out to the manufacturer who told me there isn't any type of recommended way to remove the starlock washer on the Solera Gas Strut # LC260282 but that "most people shim something behind, hit and tap it with a screwdriver to pry it open/loose." I was told that doing this should allow the washer to come off pretty easily.

• What Replacement Parts Do I Need For My Solera Awning
  Without seeing your awning, I have no idea of how many parts you might need. I do know you have the Solera Awning, model V000431840.

• Does Replacement Solera Power Awning Gas Strut Unscrew from the Two End Pieces
  I did some checking and it appears that the gas strut # LC260282 is held to the support arms with bolts, pins, or rivets that go through the eyelets at each end, see picture. It does not appear that the strut unscrews from those eyelets. The manufacturer was unable to provide a comprehensive method for replacement.
