Roof Water Diversion

I have an older 5th wheel that has a multi-pitched roof. Does anyone have any idea of what to do in the area shown in picture so that the water does not come straight down the window, but stills lets the water run off. Thanks!

    I had water running down my back window that was giving me fits everytime it rained... Black streaks everwhere... I used DICOR (NO SCREWS) and glued an aluminum right angle strip across the back of the roof which diverted the run off water to the drains on both side of the roof. Been up now there for several years. ???

    or the slide,

    or re-level with that side a tad higher.

    While thumbing through an RV parts catalogue today, I noticed this Rainkap molding that they claim prevents streaks and leaks. May not do any good with the awnings there though.
