Hi Lenny I suggest you or the owner contact the pop top manufacturer to see what is available. For if the pop top is new you may void the life time warranty if it was purchased new. Explain what is the problem and a solution could be available. I have just purchased my second caravan this one is a pop top with a manual roll out awning, I am sure if this is his problem there is an electric model available. I sold the first caravan because it had a wind up roof and the double beds has to be pulled out and support legs placed underneath. This was fine on good weather but no good when raining. Now with the new one we can get inside straight awayand just pop up the rooffrom inside. Good luck resolving this problem. Ray

Just have an idea for a friend. Last year they traded their fifth-wheel unit on a popup because of medical problems. With his heart condition it was too difficult to set up that unit. The pop-up unit has power lift. Now the problem is that the pull out sides are not powered and he can not set them up. His daughter hurt her back and now can not help him. I am wondering if a jin pole and 12v winch would work for pulling out the sides? It might also be possible to set up the winch to pull the sides back in place.
