Neither does a rubber roof.
OP, a fiberglass roof would be a considerable upgrade in my mind. Less likely to tear and they don't naturally chalk off like a rubber roof. Fiberglass is easy to "fix", but its hard to make the fix look pretty. I had an old fiberglass Jon boat with a crack in it. Bought a $10 repair kit and fixed it myself in a day. It still floated when I sold it a couple years later.
A big downside I could see is weight. Fiberglass is thicker and heavier than a rubber membrane. I don't see it working on lightweight models where every pound is a tradeoff, but if you have enough truck it sounds like a great option!
