Gap between roof and front cap
When I first bought my motorhome (12 years ago) I noticed a lot of caulking on the left side of the seal between the one piece fiberglass roof and the front cap. It was obviously that there was a gap...

Only concern with Bruce's suggestion is that as already posted, I HOPE you have a structural member under the seam. If so, staggering screws would likely hit on either side of the structure.
If the structure is steel, a magnet will tell you that in 2 seconds. If aluminum, you may have to drill one tiny diameter hole to verify what and where it is.
And absolutely, if the structural member is slightly fore or aft of the seam, use a wider molding, or even make a new one from wider flat stock.
I'll use the same holes, but I don't think there is steel under there anyway. At least not a cross member at that spot. I can see the center 3' of the bottom of this spot behind my flat screen TV. It's just plywood on top of the steel frame which is also visible there. There is no cross member in the 3' I can see, so I'm guess there is no cross member on the other side of the steel frame pieces that I can also see running lengthwise in the motorhome. So I think the intent of the original screws was to go down into the plywood, but they weren't even long enough to reach it.
