There is some sag and it does pool a bit. Didn't realize the gasket wouldn't seal against that.

Wish I had the money for roof repair, but I don't. Thanks everyone.
Don't fret about repairing it. My service guy says he see brand new units that the weight of the ac brings the roof down just that fraction to create pooling. It doesn't always mean your roof is going to collapse!

I was parked for 4 months when mine started pooling for the very first time ever. It was because I had found a nice 'shady' spot for those hot humid months so it wasn't getting the sun to evaporate.
Hasn't leaked since then, on the road and parking in the sun!
