As per my previous message I have many staples working their way through the rood membrane causing leaks. I was advised by the dealer to cover the staples with Dicor to help prevent the stapes from working through as I am not prepared to spent the $1000"s of dollars to replace the roof on a 2012 trailer. Every where I put the Dicor I now have a bubble. I am just going from bad to worse with this unit. I am so dissappointed in this trailer for the money that was spent. Can only hope others are not having so much trouble with theirs.
Of course it would be better if the roof was perfectly free of debris and imperfections before they put the membrane on. But I'm not sure why you think the staples will "work through" the roof membrane. As long as you don't walk on them will they shorten the life of the membrane that much? I'm told that after 10 years the membranes start to go just from the constant sun and weather.
When I put my solar panels on the roof and covered one of the vents, I was always careful to avoid stepping on any little bumps on the roof.
And I'm not sure how Dicor caused bubbles in the roof? I used dabs of 3M 4200 caulk/sealant on my roof to hold down the wires to the solar panels. There is no sign of bubbling.
Sorry that you are having troubles.
