My trailer had this problem. I think its a bad design as the arched roof meets the front cap which is straight. this results in 2 valleys to hold water on either side. eventually water seeped in under the front cap destroying the "fiber" underlayment. This created a floating front cap of fiberglass which would move when the suns heat hit it. So the gap grew and water got in again even though I kept on it with dicor. I now have a 4" wide piece of eternabond over the seem till the repair shop can replace the whole front cap. They said they will use 1/8 luan instead of the **** thats there now. It will be better than new at the cost of $1200 to fix. I would leave it but it looks terrible as the front cap is all wavy from delamination.
