Used table saw and router to remake frame perimeter because it was rotten.
I read that your original roof frame "perimeter" was wood, and partially rotted out?
Our 2005 Outfitter roof perimeter (and entire roof framing structure) is aluminum, and won't rot out. On edit: the "decking" under the TPO is marine ply over a crowned structure, with a layer of 1/8th inch felt, then the TPO overlay.
On the Outfitters: ...if the seam sealant should separate from the TPO along the vertical aluminum roof channel fascia, I can't see how any water could travel "up hill" 3 inches to the top of the perimeter radius. However, I am not a structural engineer, so perhaps this is possible.
Also, these are the old style roofs; I think that all the pop-up roofs at Hallmark (and Outfitter) are now glass or fiber composites now...
