Sheltapod adaptation

I think the awning roof attachment from the tent section to the van is too long to use with the wind out awning (want to use side panels on the awning) on certain campsites. So wanted to have the option on connecting to the wind out awning with a much smaller amount to a awning roof (rolling up the rest) I could use clipons to grap the fabric, but concerned that might damage the fabric, just wonder if anyone’s knows another way, perhaps there is a kander strip that can grab the fabric along its whole length ? Any other ideas ?
