DW recently had an encounter with an untrimmed tree that extended way too far into a roadway in town, and knocked off the plastic pod at the top of the awning arm. While up on the ladder replacing it, I noticed that the tree limb also did about 2-3" of damage to the very corner of the rubber roof (image).

Would I be making a mistake trying to address this with a line of caulk? I know about Eternabond tape, but I'm not enthusiastic over the choice of white or black on a tan roof, especially when it's going to show on the sidewall. Or is there another product I could use?
