Rain dripping off awning onto cab door.

[bullibuskombi]

Hi All,
It's annoying getting a wet doorstep when opening the drivers door or window after rain.
Looking at the awning, there is a rubber seal between the awning and the roof rail running between the support brackets, located into the roof rail. As this ends at the support bracket, there is a gap above the drivers door that allows pooled rain water to run off the awning onto the door and anyone opening it.
Has anyone attempted to obtain a section of the rain seal and fit it? If so, did it work and where did you get it?

Thanks

Colin

I had the same situation in/after the rain this weekend and had similar thoughts. I've not considered a solution in detail yet but channelling forward and onto the windscreen may be possible?

As a quick and low-tech solution a rag/towel between awning and roof ahead of the front bracket would help for a short time.

Put a raised Stop at the end of the seal over drivers door so water pools/ runs to the rear, or park nose-up.

Between the awning casing and the roof rail.
I had the window open and slight braking at a junction dumped pooled rain water on me.

heko wind deflectors would solve this issue. probably why i've never noticed it
