Ceiling Panel Fastener or Glue?
Hi all. It's been a while since I've visited this forum. I haven’t been able to do much RVing over the last year and a 1/2 for personal reasons. My trailer has been pretty much closed up for that time...

On my rockwood, I had to refasten a trim strip on the ceiling that covered the gap between two panels.
Nails were originally used into the aluminum beam (probably with an air nailer).
I used short screws into the aluminum after drilling pilot holes. Be careful drilling to make sure the drill doesn't suddenly grab the other side of the beam and pull the bit through the roof. I didn't have this happen but I can see how it could easily happen in the soft aluminum.
You can touch up the screw heads with some paint to hid ethem if you wish.
