Use polyurethane caulking from Home Depot. It is called PL sealant. It has a Loctite label.
It comes as window/door sealant, concrete sealant, foundation sealant, and others. The only difference is the color.
I use the black around windows and the wheelwell liners. You’ll probably want to use the wire above the awning rail.
Once it cures for a few days it is paintable.
It will not degrade in the sunlight as silicone sealant does.
Put masking tape on both sides of the crack you want to seal. Run the sealant in with the tube and then you can smooth it level with the tape with your finger.
Before it cures pull off the masking tape and you will have a nice clean edge.
Removing the screws in the rail is really difficult and you’ll probably break most of them and have to drill them out. Using sealant is a lot easier.
