1. Wash roof as discussed above.
2. The spray is a great cleaner. I use acetone because of less cost involved.
3. Plan/map out how you want to lay it down. In my case, I trimmed and removed excess dicor so I could get a complete adhesion on both sides of the joint. I used 4" wide tape, and lapped over joint all the way into the gutter.
You either had a bad batch of tape, or improper/incomplete surface prep, or just didn't lay it down/adhere it properly (requires a roller to make sure it is adhered). Assuming all tape laid down at same time, and that's the only place where it's peeling, I'm going to go with improper surface prep or not adhering it properly after applied. Stuff is crazy sticky when adhered properly.
I also tried to avoid having short pieces when covering side seams. I ran one piece the entire length from front to back, and one piece side to side on each end.
I would remove the peeling tape to the point where it is adhered good, and replace.
Look for soft spots in roof, or soft spots inside, moldy smells, water staining in corners, at floor or at ceiling.
Hope this helps.
