I have a twin slider & had trouble with both of mine tearing away at the gutter seals. I put the f/8 in the vice and ran a 3" mini grinder right up thru the channel thus taking a couple mm off ech face, champhered the ends for easy slide on. Now no more sweating & cursing to get them on. To take them off without tearing trim on gutter, just lift one corner of f8 and run a spoon handle or similar along between gutter & f8, walla off she pops & no bits & pieces of sealant from the gutter.
To take the slack outta the bit o canvas that flops around I cut a coupla pieces of swish curtain track approx 24" long and bend em in an arc and they stay nicely between the gutter & the pole on the awning, thus keeping the canvas in a tunnel shape & rain water stays away.
Dontcha jus luv it...luv it ...luv it even when it bites yer on the bum...

Totally lost here, some good sharp close-up pics would be a great help from someone, unless they can point to same in Wiki? If not sounds like they are needed anyway, to build an article on Figure of 8's, J strips and pole and clamps....
that's a bay gutter isn't it? Early t25 gutters are similar if not the same to bays whereas late gutters need a trim to aid the fitting of figure of 8.
