awning edge issues

I have a 2021 Shasta 31OK. One side of the awning edge is coming apart in two pieces at the 12" piece that hangs down and up one of the edges side. Has anyone used awning tape to seal it shut, any other recommendation to fix, or is it time for a new one, because I don't think the extended warranty covers it?

Thank you for any help and replies in advance,

Jeremy

Pics are often more helpful than descriptions.

Thank you for your reply and suggestion. I am a visual person, so I should have done that with my initial post. I have uploaded some pictures.

I agree. Time for a replacement.

Gorilla tape either the original or the new clear tape... maybe it will get gummy in hot sun though...

Wow! That's in bad shape for a 2021.
Had you ever cleaned and/or used protectant on it?
If so and it deteriorated like that, I'd be contacting the manufacturer.

I clean it with the awning cleaner a couple of times a year. I could not get it all the way cleaned though. I believe I kept it rolled up the incorrect direction as it is reversible.

Thank you,

Jeremy
