My Coleman has the same problem. I can crank the top up but it will not hold in place.
I just leave the crank handle in place after raising the top and secure the handle to the bumper with a bungee cord. It's jury rigged but it works great.

the adjustment can be done by your dealer, contact them see how much it costs.

I had the same problem on my 1997 Coleman Fleetwood Bayside. I took out the spring pin from the crank shaft using a finishing nail and a hammer. I then put a 9/16th" socket inside to hold the nut in place while I used a pipe wrench on the outside of the crank shaft to turn it about 1/4-turn clockwise. Voila! Now it works.

Tried googling Coleman? They might be able to help.

Have you tried e-bay or craigs list? Also try googling it, or look under camper manuels. It may take a little research but something should be out there.
