I called ZipDee today. It is the non-spring side and can be replaced for $17 + shipping. Unfortunately, I can't get it shipped and arrive by the time I depart Oklahoma next week, so will try to cobble together a fix this weekend, and call around local dealers, maybe they have the part.
Richard, you may be right about the latch not being released causing it to break. The previous owner put the slides in and out without ever unlatching the awnings, so I suspect they were always unlatched. I had a detailer buffing the side of the coach yesterday, and he asked me to pull the slides in, then told me he thought it broke when I pulled the slide in. Thus, I wonder if he somehow latched the awning causing it to break? Or does it only break outgoing?
