To determine what size roller and fabric you need, measure from the center of your Solera awning's left arm to the center of its right arm. You can also measure the width of your old roller and replace it with a roller that's the same size, but measuring the distance between the two arms will give you the most accurate dimension. Do not order based on the old fabric width, as it will be too short.

Can You Just Replace the Fabric on an Awning?

Can you replace just the awning fabric without the roller tube? The answer is absolutely yes - but do you really want to?

To replace just the fabric on your awning, you will have to disassemble your whole awning anyway, just like you would if you were replacing the roller and fabric assembly. When you get your new fabric, you will have to unfold it and let it lie out for a good while to get rid of the creases. Then you'll have to painstakingly feed the fabric into the roller tube and into the awning rail on the other side. Once your awning's put back together, you'll still have to extend and retract it multiple times, tweaking and tugging at it to try and get the fabric centered and wrinkle-free between the roller and the rail.

If you get the roller/fabric combo right from the get-go, it's going to make it so much easier. You just have to feed the other end of the fabric into your awning rail and attach the new roller to the heads on your awning arms. Roll the awning in and out a couple of times to get the fabric even and you're done. Save your weekend and get the roller and fabric kit.
