I pulled the patio umbrella after a long winter and in opening, the top tilted over (at the hinge) and the tension increased significantly. The tilt button is missing (still searching closet for). Any suggestions as to how to fix short of buying another! It's about 3-4 years old. Thx.

Hi, kleask!

I know that you're question is somewhat dated now, and that maybe you've already found a solution. However, if you haven't found a solution, would it be possible for you to post a couple of images of the area where you need the solution. Also, what is the brand name of the patio umbrella, please?

Thanks!
