I've got an Apex with the same problem. While the wood strip is not structural, the fact that it's coming loose indicates that the roof is sagging. While a little sag is probably to be expected with age (my camper is 15 years old), it's not going to be cured with just a bigger screw or better adhesive. My solution was to remove some of the roof sag by shimming the roof back up with a slice of Starboard between the roof and the "roof rod". Once the sag is removed, a bigger screw and more adhesive will hold the wood piece in place. Hopefully this temporary fix will work for another five or ten years.
