My exact concern, what other sealants might be a bad batch or poor workmanship. These MH's have the roof attached with sealant also.
Do you have any idea what it takes to blow off a roof? Has it happened? Yes, during a west Texas windstorm..

As far as this goes, I'm saying kudos to Winnie for stepping up. The way the letter reads is this is an attempt to stop the sealant from becoming bad, not that it already is.
What I didn't like was how soon they're ending the program.
