Maint. ? On fiberglass roof and slide rubbers

Winnebago one pc fiberglass roof ... do you just clean it and if so how? Or do you put coating on it ??
Also any lube on the slide rubbers ??
  • I use Mop-N-Glow available almost any department store on the fiberglass roof.

    I spray the slide seals with pure silicone spray. Don't use anything with petroleum distillates, cause it will deteriorate the rubber seals.
  • Mop 'n Glow on my Filon roof. Keeps the surface from sloughing off and making white streaks down the sides. Two coats once a year in the spring usually does it.
  • Winnebago fiberglass roofs require annual washing, inspection and maintenance.
    For washing would recommend a non abrasive detergent and water like cold water tide. Does a really great job.
    Annually, the roofs seams along the sides, front and rear caps, and around any vents, need to be inspected for any sealants issues. New sealent should be applied where required. Note, this is a particularly ptedominent issue with Winnebagos. Also, make sure you use the right RV sealent. Never a household silicone product, always a RV sealent like ProFlex.
    Not sure I would recommend applying floor wax to a fiberglass roof ever.
  • I’m with Zig on pure silicone spray for rubber seals.

    Silicone spray is good. Silicone grease lasts longer.
