Awning repair

Found a spot in my awning with 3 small holes. Is there any kind of repair kit for this?

Awning repair

VLP (By Performix) -- Available from Amazon and others. For small "cracks" or holes it works great...virtually "re-melts" the vinyl and covers the hole or crack. I've repaired a couple of awnings with it over the years and it lasts...for years. If there's a tear, it certainly won't "re-weave", but a small (relatively) hole or crack will repair very well.

I didn't have good luck with the clear tape. It failed pretty quickly.

Best thing I've used is Gorilla Tape. It's available in multiple colors and sticks very well. It's like a really thick Duct tape. Very durable. It's been on my awning for several years now and before that I used it on the Awning of my old PUP. If it starts to get shoddy just peel it off and replace it.
