Sticky situation
The roof vents on this newly acquired RV became so sun damaged that they fell apart.
The previous (86 year old) owners’ son, instead of replacing the vents, covered them with black garbage bags and sealed them to the roof with duck tape. Nice.
When I removed the bags the tape was so old it had begun to fall apart, but it left a hard adhesive residue all around the vents. I figured who cares. But, my wife is determined that the roof be spotless. OCD, maybe?
What I need is a safe way to remove the adhesive. It’s thick and hard. I tried WD-40, but at this rate I’ll be done by 2023.
My question is, what is the roof on this unit made of? It is not rubber. At first I thought it was fiberglass, like my old Suncruiser. Now I’m not so sure. It’s hard, but seems to be covered with some sort of fabric.
Before I proceed any further I’d love some input. I don’t want to use any solvents or procedures that might damage the roof.
Thanks, in advance.
