it's under the roof

[me_camper]

Was on the ladder the other day and saw what looks like the head of a screw starting to push up on the rubber roof material from underneath it (backing out). My question is do I just leave it and keep an eye on it and wait till it pokes through too much? Or do I try maybe pushing the screw back in by tapping on it or putting a small slit in the roof and remove the screw and seal over it with lap sealant? Any ideas? Thanks

If you fix it you know it's done and over with rather than waiting to see if the screw works its way through. I can't imagine a screw ever working its way through an Eternabond patch.

No question what I would do.

X5 (or is it 6?) for me.
I would not leave it alone for fear it would tear through and I wouldn't notice it until too late.

If you just keep an eye on the screw, it will puncture the rubber during a rain storm while you are no where near the RV. Guaranteed. 🙂
