Leaky awning seam

[AlBundy]

This evenings rain has shown up a leak that appears to come from where the canvas meets the van. It is a 1986 Bilbo Conversion, so about 30 years old, and the canvas itself is fine, just the join to the van.

Is there a good way of sealing this without having to remove and replace the current fittings?

How is the awning connected to the van? Maybe some pictures would help?

Now it has stopped tipping down, have managed to get out and have a look, see how bad it is. It doesn't look too bad, just looks like the old seal has deteriorated and become unstuck.

Would a standard silicone be ok to reseal, or do I need something specific for this job?

Amy advice appreciated.

A bead of silicon sealant from inside. If you are able to get to, it will be neater as it will be covered up by the trim and the mattress.
