I guess I should look at it like this.....Do the drill less now.... and if I see any of them loosing up (over time) or tugging too much on the TPO roof (Stretching the liner - making wringles in the materal around the mounts) then I can always put one screw per a mounting locaton to stiffen it up... So its NOT like I have to re-do everything and be upset I picked the wrong mounting method for my RV. 
Taylor Bob... Have you done any High Speed tests on the interstate yet? Can you hear anything moving around.... Is the TPO roof stretching at all?
Would putting Eternabond tape around the mounts reinforce the TPO? Maybe put the tape UNDER the mounts before they are glued down? What do you guys think? |
Long&Winding:
don't over-think it
if you have anxiety about it, just drill one hole in each of the two front mounts and put in a couple of screws in your roof with lots of sealant
nothing is moving around on my roof, there is no stretching, the mounts are solid
for now...i'm doing nothing
they are perfect
but...you better buy your panels today before the tariffs take place!!!
