I would put butyl tape under the metal strip that covers the TPO/front cap, then use stainless screws to fasten it down. Flipping the strip around might offset existing screw holes for a better bite. Longer and next size up screws might also help. Put the vinyl cover strip back in and cover with eternabond. Use lap sealant to cover whatever the eternabond didn't.
I believe you can use lacquer thinner to clean the TPO, but I would definitely check that.
Good luck.
Yes, that is what I was thinking, tape and flipping. I have plenty of butyl tape...shortest length was 30' at camping world.
I found a Dicor sealant video that actually recommends using denatured alcohol.
