Well unless there are some obvious "wide spots" in the rail,I can only assume that the bead on the awning is slightly undersized...

I suppose there's always the chance that it's been fitted with the incorrect webbing bead?..as there are different sizes about..

I'd be worth contacting Sunncamp.

There is a "Bulk strip" on here(half way down page):

...it's not really meant for what you want but it could possibly be slipped onto the channel edge and help close the gap a little.(..a bit of  a faff about though..)

Just to add....Is it "peeling out" from the ends or just generally pulling out of the channel?..maybe just "wedging" the ends with something would help?

Well....when I say different sizes,the beads on awnings should be 6mm but it's the Fiamma windout awnings take 4mm beads.... 

How does the bead on the Sunncamp compare to the one on your Dorema awning? 

..if the Sunncamp bead is smaller,then maybe that strip would work..(but it would need to be slipped onto the lip of the channel,not fixed to the bead)and if you glued the strip into place,wouldn't that make it too tight for your main awning?

(..or is that slightly "slack" as well?)...if that's loose as well,maybe it'd be worth gently closing up the awning rail a little...?

I suppose even if the beads are the same size,it could be possible that the Sunncamp bead is compressing more and that's why it's pulling through....

Although don't forget that the Sunncamp is only fastened along a relatively short length (and this is a straight axis),whereas I'm assuming your Dorema awning has greater bead length (..and is maybe also fastened on the two uprights?)..so I would just double check the rail....

But as you say,it's worth calling Sunncamp,to see if they've had other problems...
