Cannot help that way. BUT When we had a VW. Villa 3 high top, camper van we got a strip of awning rail and some boat glue and Bob fixed it all along one said of the van. Drilled,glued for water proofing + sticking. The we got a long strip of a figure of 8 plastic and and used to just leave it on the awning as we went out for the day, easy to attach when we returned. I even bought & sewed by hand a strip of the rubber insert you threadle through the rail, as I put the rubber strip inside the edge of the awning itself, turned a hem and stitched it tightly closed up. Not only was it easier to erect, attach. But the length of it helped with a cross wind as the awning was reaching nigh on the whole length, so tying the guys round the bumper & hitch (as we had a small trailer also) it never moved, never let in rain and was comfy. Oh! I made sure the awning part I stitched I also water proofed as the stitches would of let in water by the holes made. Always keep a cut off bit of wax candle with us even today for any water that may try to get through in a hefty downpour. Had it well over a decade.
