Trulyvintage Posted November 2, 2014 Share Posted November 2, 2014 Common practice for manufacturers of enclosed trailers to fasten the thin sheets of wood installed on the top of the steel frameand under the roof metal with sheet metal screws ....Over time these screws loosen and back out - the result can be the roof metal coming into contactand tearing apart - these images are from my trailer roof taken yesterday.I remove the screw - push down the metal & caulk with a good quality silicone product ...Check your roof .....Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLYER15015 Posted November 15, 2014 Share Posted November 15, 2014 My trailer from Arizing Ind. in GA does not have screws in the roof.I did have to pull the top aluminum trim loose to weld in the header for the escape door, and I did find screws under it securing the roof panel along the side.Mike in Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
