Roof Resealing And Care
For maintenance or repair purposes, you must put down at least a 48" X 48" piece of plywood at
least 3/8" thick to distribute the weight.
Inspect the roof at least every six months, paying particular attention to the seams where the areas
of sheetmetal, rubber and/or fiberglass are joined.
Carefully inspect the flange connections between air conditioner, vents, skylights, etc. If signs of
cracking, weathering, or drying are evident, reseal as follows:
1. Remove any loose or cracked sealant being careful not to damage the roof. Use a
wooden or plastic tool that will not gouge, pierce, or otherwise damage the roof.
2. Clean all areas requiring repair with a soft brush. This is to be done dry. Do not wash
with soap and water or solvents. Be sure the surface is as dust-free as possible.
3. Check and tighten any loose fasteners. Be careful not to over-tighten, or stripping
will occur.
4. Apply the new sealant, such as a quality acrylic caulk (not silicone) in a continuous
bead along the seams and flanges, being careful not to leave any voids. Apply enough
sealant to flow over the heads of all fasteners.
5. Allow at least 48 hours for sealant to set completely (firm and tack-free when firmly
pushed with the thumb) before washing or waxing the trailer.
