2022 Van Leigh Beacon Night Shade Repair: Springs & Auto Stop Fix

Asked by EricAsked on June 11, 2025Answered by Elkhart RV Parts
Customer Question

My 2022 Van Leigh Beacon night shade springs up quickly and rolls down on its own after I replaced the spring and added tension. Did I order the wrong part, is the end bracket broken, or should I replace the entire shade?

Expert Answer

The issue with your 2022 Van Leigh Beacon night shade likely involves the auto stop mechanism, which is designed to prevent the shade from rolling down on its own. Even after replacing the spring and adding tension, if the shade still unravels, the auto stop could be malfunctioning or missing. We recommend verifying that you have the correct replacement spring and inspecting the end brackets for damage. If the spring is confirmed to be correct and the brackets are intact, replacing or repairing the auto stop mechanism may resolve the problem. You can also consider replacing the entire shade if multiple components are damaged. If you received a spring from us that is defective or incorrect, we offer returns and can provide the proper auto stop parts. For additional guidance, watching instructional videos on night shade repair can be helpful. Please contact us with details about the spring you ordered so we can assist you further.
