   Excellent news!

   Okay, I just had to replace end covers for both ends of the awning   
   on our Lance 1475.  I'd knocked one end cover loose banging it   
   into something, and had snapped it back into place with the less   
   than full complement of tabs, expecting it would not last.  For   
   whatever reason, next time I looked the outer cover at the other   
   end was also gone.  Took me quite a while to find the right   
   replacement, but I finally got it done.   
      
   The day I put them on I hadn't thought to take my extension   
   ladder, so I stacked one of the ubiquitous red jack stands...   
      
   https://andersenhitches.com/product/trailer-jack-block/   
      
   ...on top of a milk crate and stood on that combo to reach up to   
   the awning ends.  I was strecched up as far as I could reach with   
   my back against the trailer exterior when the stand went shooting   
   out from under me.  I fell pretty heavily and slammed my back   
   against the wall on the way down.  Knocked the wind out of me and   
   I saw stars.  Thought for a moment I might need an ambulance, but   
   I ended up with only a small scrape (from the furnace exhaust   
   cover, I think).  Pretty lucky.  I've since gotten a 12 ft   
   telescoping ladder that now resides in the pass through space.   
      
   And speaking of getting the tabs in right, I had a repair of the   
   liftgate on my Acadia at the dealer, and when I got it back   
   noticed a trim piece above the passenger rear wheel was missing.   
   What a pain that was to get them to fix it.

   Ugh.  For what it's worth, I've had the active (adaptive) cruise   
   assist on my Acadia drop out a few times.  More often than not,   
   it's been somehing interfering with a forward facing camera.  FOr   
   example, one time was driving in sleet, and when I stopped and   
   cleared the slush off the front it all worked fine again.

   Glad to hear it!
