Rubber roof coming loose

Rcnewell11 said:

I was wondering on why roofing is coming loose on top under trim on front cap and wrinkling and sliding towards front ac unit.The sides of front cap are tight and looks good but top of cap where rubber roofing goes underneath is pulling out from traveling down road.I had this problem before 3 months ago and it is doing it again .I had to put new screws in it again and a hair bigger diameter and quarter inch longer and caulk again .I didn’t know if there is a gasket that goes under trim piece to tighten down against rubber roofing and keep it tight then caulk it again.I need maybe bigger screws yet and a little longer and maybe holes are stript .I can stick my fingers under trim piece when this happens .I have 2015 landmark Ashland and stored inside my pole barn all the time when not camping every few weeks .

Hey Rob

Met you at the wabash camp ground some time ago. Pretty sure that roof material is supposed to be glued to the roof. Sounds as if yours has a spot where its not.

I have heard of people slitting the loose rubber membrane, spraying spray contact glue on the roof surface, and re-sticking down the rubber membrane. You can then patch the rubber membrane with Eternabond or Dicor repair tapes. Eternabond and Dicor make 4 inch wide tapes that can take the place of end cap caulking, and can reasonably be expected to last 15 years or more. I have even installed their 1 inch tape over the drip gutter to rubber roof seam on both sides the entire length of the roof.
