Yes, there are these two problems with the Shady Boy.  I have discussed this with Wolfgang at length, but so far he has not made the changes I recommended.  It would be very simple for him to have a rubber flap installed on the awing body to cover the small space between the awing and the drip rail.  Then for the rear to protect the slider door when open, the awing could have a flap extension that clips to the drip rail.  I have used a length of Gorilla tape to seal the crack between the awing and the drip rail on my van and have sewn on a flap at the rear to cover the gap between the awing and the drip rail so no water goes onto the inside of the slider door when open.  It would be so easy for him to make these mods !
