Neither really. I just assumed the fiberglass was much more rigid than it actually was. It's pretty flexible. If you go back a few posts you see I determined the screws were too short and weren't even holding in the wood underlayment. So basically the only thing holding the front cap to the roof was the sealant. And I know it was like this since it rolled out of the factory because I always know they corrected their mistake with giant gobs of self leveling caulk. Whomever put the screws in probably did so with a drill driver or air driver and just torqued them in and stripped out any grip they may have had. So the play in the fiberglass immediately pulled the screws back out on that side. And they would have pulled it out on the rest of the seam but the caulking dried enough to hold them in.
