There's a gap where the awnings are screwed onto the coach, during rainstorms water runs through these gaps and down the sides of the coach; I can't keep windows open, it can pour in around the door.

The best solution would be for me to unmount the awning, get SS bolts, seal, and put new bolts in. What I imagine will happen, 3/4 of the bolts break off and need drilling out and retapping.

The cheap and easy way to do it would be to seal on top with this stuff

is that a terrible idea? I'm not a good caulker; but am afraid this would be really permanent (though I'm not sure permanent is bad).
