General Discussion / Re: Roof
« on: December 20, 2019, 04:51:15 pm »
I have a Phoenix 3100, 2015 I first noticed my fiberglass roof lifting below the crown and next to the rail (passenger side ) along the length of the coach this past summer it had been flat and glued down prior to this. I also owned a 2552 prior to this and the fiberglass roof did not raise so I think this is a new issue and in my opinion not normal and qualifies as a manufacturing defect. The contact cement, used as the glue, is not being applied properly (they use a spray on technique) and this area of the coach is not receiving a proper cover of the adhesive, there fore the bubble.
My concern is over time this will crack and of course leak, a new roof replacement would be a prohibitive expense a drill and fill the void with a suitable caulking compound might be a practical alternative.
I have brought this to the attention of the factory and will be following up with them to get this resolved. This is not a normal condition this is a manufacturing defect the factory needs to resolve.
Yes fiberglass is an extremely durable but it will over time become brittle and crack when stressed
