I was up on the roof of my Bullet over the weekend cleaning and waxing the top of the front fiberglass panel. I noticed that one of the roof deck panels along the gutter's edge has popped up a bit (movement of about 3/8") as if a fastener or staple has failed to keep it tight on the truss.. The membrane is still intact but I think it's just a matter of time before the upward movement of this sheathing will tear the TPO membrane along the gutter's edge.
What are my best options for a quick but effective fix? Would it be feasible to just locate the supporting truss and secure the decking down with several screws right through the TPO membrane, following up with Dicor lap sealant and Eternabond tape over the penetrating screws?
I hate to pull apart the gutter from the roof's edge to gain bare access underneath the membrane, which BTW remains nicely glued to the deck. Disturbing the membrane in this fashion seems like I may be causing more trouble than what's needed.
Will be performing a fix this week as we have one more trip before she's put away for the season. Any advice on how to "re-secure" the deck board to the trusses is sure appreciated.
