I have completed installation of the motorized awning kit provided by Zip Dee.  The kit was developed at my request and I am most pleased with the outcome.  Since this is a new kit for them, the instructions need some additional tweeking, and I will be discussing this with them.  However, their step-by-step instructions on how to install the motor are very good.  Better instructions are needed on how to remove the old arms and installing the new arms.  To that end, I am attaching several photos which should be of help to anyone who wants to install this kit.  Note that the old awning rail, roller and fabric stay in place and are not removed.  I am thinking about ordering another kit for my bedroom window on the curb side.  Without the kit, I would have had to buy a new awning and have it professionally installed at a cost exceeding $2,000.  With an investment of $503, I have my 13'2" motorized and the fabric still matches all of my other awnings.  Also note that there are times when two persons are need for the installation, but otherwise it is not a big deal.
