Staples on Roof Poking Membrane
I have a half a dozen or so staples that have been working their way out, and are pushing against the underside of the roof membrane. They are mostly above the long slideout, so I assume this area must flex a little more than the rest of the roof. I have been watching them from roof check to roof check, and they are to the point now that I think I should take care of them ....
My plan is to clean the area around the staple with mineral spirits, then carefully slit the membrane with a razor knife right over the staple. I will then remove the offending staple, and replace it with a stainless steel screw of the same length. I then plan to shoot a big dab of adhesive sealant - I will probably use 3M Marine 5200 since I have it laying around - and push the membrane back into place. I will then follow up with a 2-3" patch of Eternabond tape.
Anybody have a better idea?
