front of roof pulling back

So on my 2017 hideout as I was getting on the roof to install solar this weekend i noticed some wrinkles and the front of the roof pulling back. Assuming on our last trip somehow air got under the roof and pulled it back some. I pulled off the front trim, and side trim to glue it back down. Did the best i could but still a few ripples. Wondering has anyone added extra trim at the beams to aid in holding down the roof. I got it back on and caulked it all, but now am worried that the glue might not hold it down completely and I will have the same issue again.

i dont think it was a seal problem at the front as everything was sealed a few months ago from dealer when i bought it, and it was all sealed except where the material pulled back some.

I have seen double strips at the front, haven’t seen any installed between the front and rear. What did you use for glue?

i got glue from local rv dealer, but i have heard people say that once this happens it comes back... so now i am 2nd guessing my repair, as the last thing i want is it to rip out completely.

Depends on how clean the membrane was. I would add a second transition molding right behind the original and just watch it.
