Tree rub on roof damage

**pnoetzel** · 03-24-2019, 10:08 PM

Holy cow,
I rubbed a tree on the blind side (right side) of roof today in Prescott AZ.
Backing into a extremely bad site
Anyone ever repaired a bunch of small tears on rubber roof?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
A few small tears, no major structural damage
Thanks

Eternabond

Yep, Aridon is right. Eternabond tape. Clean the area to be treated, then apply the tape and use a roller to apply pressure. If done correctly, it can last as long as the roof.

What would you clean area with, mineral spirits?
Thanks

+1 on the Eternabond roof repair. Along with that I used liberal amounts of LAP Sealant around the edges where I wasn't 100% sure I got a good install. I also keep a tube handy for any other roof related issues, Over time the sealant around the cap and back or along the edges can work loose causing a small water leak.

Just get to it right away! Lost my fifth to a small roof tear by a branch. Likely done in June at a state park, delamination noticed in Sept. By Jan. dealer and insurance had done their consultations on it and it was totaled. Hence why the 2670MK.
