For wider seams, put the first layer to straddle the seam itself, then add a layer with an overlap on either edge. I think about 3/4"-1" worked for us to get a permanent bond without any lifting.
I added a layer like that on a MH on the LEADING edge (wind side) to keep it all good going down the road.

It really does take some time to do it "right" and get it squished into every nook and cranny, but then that is it. Done. Forever?
Good luck!
