Rubber roof loose

Depending on the size of the loose spot I would be more inclined to cut around the loose area on three sides, peel it back, and re-attach with contact cement.

ps Let us know how the bed liner works out. Seems more people are going this route and I'm soon going to have to decide which way to go as well.

The application was relatively easy, it is really strong and quite flexible. I'm using GrizzlyGrip white.
The only issue is that it seems to shrink the rubber roof if not glued down.
I actually like it more than Eternabond...

Are you doing entire roof or just "painting" the seams?

How big are the spots? I have had quarter size ones that never went anywhere while i owned the trailer.

Does Grizzly Grip contain any hydrocarbon solvents? If so, that may be why you are seeing contraction of the EPDM. The solvents will react with a rubber roof.

In one motorhome I did the whole roof (ACs off and everything).
On the other just the seams and the roof over the cabover

No idea, but whatever is has might interact with the rubber. The told me to wipe it down with acetone, which does interact with the rubber.
