Awning repair tape from amazon or Walmart will work.
Not in my experience it won't.
I had a small 2-3 inch rip and tried the tape on it......twice.
Both times it just fell off after about 6 weeks.
I ended up replacing the whole awning fabric; it was about 8 years old.
Edit: Details after seeing the comments about how good this stuff is:
Apparently all awning repair tape is not created equal.
The stuff that I got at WalMart separated after being out in the elements about 6 weeks. That is, the adhesive became brittle and stayed attached to the awning while the plastic tape peeled off.
