For a pop top equipped van - a 1/16th thick x 8 inch x 8 feet piece of ABS plastic can be installed behind the awning case to shut off the gap between awning and the gutter. This prevents nearly all the rain from coming through the gap and channels the rain into the gutter where it drains off to the front or back.
The upper edge of the ABS sheet will nest into the hook that runs along the upper back edge of the F45s awning case. The lower edge will need to scribed and cut to match the contour (curve) of the gutter. A few notches will be required to provide clearance of the mounting brackets. The ABS can be secured to the back face of the awning brackets using VHB tape.
Zoom in on this pic and you will see the black ABS piece between the front and rear brackets.
