Vinyl trim insert
Looks like the 1" vinyl trim insert (covering the screws holding the rubber roof down) needs to be replaced after 5 years. It's stiff & shrunken and lets water in allowing the screw heads to rust....

Screw heads rusting have little if anything to do with the vinyl trim. Rusting screw heads are indicative of water under the siding / filon. Screws rust because of capillary action and the acids produced by wood rot, not moisture under the trim pieces which are there for decorative reasons.... IOW screw heads are unsightly.
One foolproof way to tell is run a screw out and look at the threaded part. If it's rusty, the issue is underneath.
