This is the rod once it is removed, the spring on the left is the one that makes the cover roll itself up, it works just like a small version of a garage door spring. In my cover the spring had fallen off the little white thing pictured here. You can see how the white thing got bent over time; luckily there are 3 of them inside the large tube so I switched this one with another one. Only one of them has the spring connected to it so even though this one is a little messed up it will still work fine.
