advice needed on superficial damage

Hi guys.
I do not have a picture of what happened but I got too close to a couple of trees. They caused minor scratching to the awning arms and fiberglass. I think a magic eraser will take out all the damage.

I also have scratches in the top of the rubber roof. It looks very superficial and they did not scratch beyond the white at all. In fact I thought after a few hot days and rain storms it might be hard to tell it even happened.

Should I get it inspected or let it ride?

Any experience out there with scratched in the rubber roof?


  • I do not have any pics of it. I will try to get some int the next day or so.
  • From your description, there was not any major damage to either the roof material or the siding. I think I would try to clean it up as best as possible and then just watch it for any deterioration. I think you will most likely be fine.

  • I have done the same thing and managed to rub the green marks the tree braches left out. I think you will be fine.
  • If you are worried about the roof, cover the gouges with eternabond tape. Its on the roof, who cares what it looks like?
