Yet another 'soft spot in the roof' question
So, while buffing the sides of my toy hauler, I noticed a soft spot, about a square foot near the back of the toy hauler (I found it easier to lay on the roof and buff the top foot or two of the sides from the roof). I am currently in the process of researching how I want to tackle this, but have a few questions in the mean time.
- Why is this metal roof rack installed on the trailer? Does it double as an antenna or anything? In short - Can I just remove the dang thing? The soft spot is right in the middle of one of the mounts for the rack.
- I saw someone that Line-X'd their entire RV roof. Way more involvement/cost than I'm willing to get into, but when I perform the 'surgery' on the roof, could I just essentially "seal" the rubber roof back together with a DIY bed liner kit? Not the entire roof, but just the portion of the roof involved in the repair.
- There is no visible holes or tears in the rubber roof. How did the leak even begin?
I've seen lots of write-ups on here, but many are years old with broken links for pictures. I am mechanically inclined, but not very strong with carpentry work, but I can learn anything. Is there a single one write up that's detailed for a slow learner like me?
