Well.....

I hear where you are coming from, but the canopy door levels out
horizontally. And prior to fitting the opener I tried applying
pressure on the top of the door in a horizontal direction - it
wouldn't budge.

Hence why I went for the canopy arm, because I believe that splits the
horizontal movement to a force direction which causes the door to
close.

I suppose I could try it without, but I was a bit worried about
knadgering the drive system and maybe having the door fall off through
being given some brute force in a direction it decided to resist

Do you need a handyman service? Check out our

OK. Mine level out horizontally too, but there's no problem getting
it to move by pushing the top. Do you have horizontal tracks as
part of the door mechanism? If so, are they aligned properly? I had
to adjust mine because the builder did not install correctly.

However, see other post
