Rather than add a landing pad for the roller when the dish is stowed I just added a strip of EternaBond. Works great.
That's actually not the intent. The intent is to simply prevent the minimal side to side movement while stowed from causing damage to the rubber membrane. In most cases a strip of Eternabond would accomplish that without issue.
The guideline for a landing plate is EPDM rubber type roof and not roof structure. Having said that, if you had a roof structure that concerns you enough to make you think you need a landing plate you should probably install the entire thin roof mounting plate. Putting additional protection under the wheel is never a bad thing, just unnecessary in most non-rubber roof installations.
