They don't fade or chalk because there are painted with the same automotive finish.



Difficult to repair is apples to oranges.

A small tear, rip gouge etc in either can be 'repaired' with eternabond tape



Larger repairs with the membrane roof are much more costly if you are stripping the roof.



Fiberglass roofs are just 'bodyshop' repairs.


The fiberglass roof on my 2017 Winnebago, like the sidewalls, was not painted. When I traded it the roof and one side was showing deterioration from the sun. You’re certainly correct that a full membrane roof replacement might be more costly than a large repair on fiberglass. I hope I never suffer that kind of damage and if I do that it will be covered by insurance!
