I did one of my roofs with Gator Grip (a bedliner) and it worked OK for 4 years. Re-did it with another one sealant.
In your case, I would just put plywood on top of what you have, seal the seams, put bedliner, cover it with vizquine while still fresh, and another coat of bedliner. You should be able to walk, jump or dance on that roof.
As far ad the inside damage, just start peeling off and replacing with new wood and insulation. Avoid mold.
Good luck.
Why use bedliner when a number of people recommend a product that is actually designed for this application. And that product will not be more expensive than bedliner?
Good question. I did it because I wanted a more durable roof, specially dealing with trees and things like that. This is one of my rental units, and 1 year after I did it somebody drove under a low Oak branch and flattened the two AC units. Everytime this has happened the rubber would be detroyed. In this unit, not one cut. So, to answer directly, the stuff designed for an application is not necesairly the best option, sometimes there is something better, they just don't want you to use it because it would mean less money.
