How to repair rip in rubber roof
While giving the roof of my new to me 07 Ragen 21FB a good cleaning, I noticed a tear in the rubber roof near the roof rack area.
It looks like a skin avulsion with a flap approx 2in long.
I believe this roof is the EPDM. Its a texured rubbery substance.
I think the best way would be to get a square piece of the roofing material and glue it over the tear. Is this a way to repair it or what other procedures work?
Also, the joints all need to be recaulked. Is it better to remove the old caulking or clean it with denatured alcohol and caulk over the old?
I would think the existing is giving some protection and would only add to the sealing effect with the new stuff on top.
What do you guys think?
