How to Fix a Leaky Roof Seam on a Travel Trailer

Question:
The roof of my 2004 Fleetwood Taos is leaking. The center of the aluminum roof is the likely problem. Does etrailer.com sell the metal track seal, the vinyl , stainless screws, and seam sealer?

I do have products to help you seal the roof of your 2004 Fleetwood Taos but none of them will be specific to the trailer. What I recommend doing is further securing the seam using sheet metal screws every 12" or so with part # 31071 and then placing a fair amount of silicone along the entire seam with part # 0160297. The screws are not made of stainless steel but are zinc coated to prevent rust. The silicone sealer is specially made for waterproofing roofing materials and is both EPDM and TPO compatible.
I have attached a review video of both the silicone and screw for you as well.
