Copy and paste this link and read all the replies before attempting to do the fiberglass repair yourself. This is under the current thread of "Winnebago roof blows off". Doug
I came upon that thread when I did a quick search before posting, but I did not read it all the way through. Now that I did, though, the drawing of how the roof edge is made confirms my mental image formed as I removed the old sealant along both sides of mine, blew out debris and resealed it over the last summer. It took one day for each side. I used silicone caulk as a sealant, but I've since read at least one person who said that's a no-no. I considered EternaBond on both sides, but the caulk seems to be holding up-- so far.
I'm planning to talk to the repair shop tomorrow and find out more details on what they are actually going to do for the money. I partly lean toward having them do the repair, but there are reasons for DIY beyond money. Yet, there are good arguments for having them do it. (One good argument is that they were telling the truth about the awning.)
