EPDM worn at roof edges - how to repair
When performing some maintenance on my trailer I noticed a few spots on the edge of the roof that are warn through the white surface down to the black of the EPDM roof. I know a photo would be nice he...

Okay, I think we have a plan. I will run the Eternabond down the length of each side. I have ordered the tape, lap sealant, as well as the Eternabond cleaner & prime.
I will be taking some foam pipe insulation and cutting about 1/4 of it and then tucking one side into the gutter and the other side should then wrap up over the roof. That will provide a buffer this winter to avoid the same sort of chaffing issue with the cover.
Thanks again for the quick feedback,

p.s. I will likely follow up with the EPDM coatings within the next year or two as well. I do not want to wait for a problem to develop before re-coating.
