Because a rubber roof has never come off in hurricane force winds?

Sure they have, never said other wise. My point is if they take the same amount of service work what's the point. Which do you think is cheaper to repair or replace. Replacing a fiberglass roof cost more than a lot of the coaches are worth.

What is easier to damage, a fiberglass roof or a rubber roof? My fiberglass roof is over 10 years old now and other than re-sealing and pressure washing the fiberglass itself has been maintenance free. I hit some low hanging branches last year that I miscalculated the height of and they broke my A/C cover and ripped the lid off the bathroom vent, but did nothing at all to the fiberglass. Would a rubber roof have done the same? So yeah, a fiberglass roof may cost more to fix, but it's also way more difficult to damage.

My rubber roof is 12 years old and still looks great. Whats your point other than defending your fiberglass roof? We work with fiberglass a lot restoring Corvettes. I know how it works.:R

My point? You are the one who made this statement: "This really makes me want a fiberglass roof some people think is so great." In all the debates on here I've ever heard about fiberglass versus rubber, I have yet to hear anybody say go with rubber if they had a choice between the two.
