The thing I'd worry about with TPO on the sides is gravity. On the roof, gravity is continuously working for you. On the sides, it is working against you 24/7/352. On the roof or on the sides, there will be occasional 60+ MPH headwinds, when driving. You would have to have a good deal of faith in the glue on the sides, never to fail during the life of the application. For that reason, I might be inclined to favour something with fasteners.
You have a point about gravity. The fiberglass that was on originally, was just glued to the plywood. With that said, the holes in the sides, (windows, doors, openings for water fill, ets), also helped to keep the siding from falling off.
I do have the angle steel up top, that could probably be used to help secure the TPO at the top, as well as the windows in the living room.
Maybe I'll have to investigate the glue a little further.
Thanks for the idea.
