Title: Roof leaks
Post by: Jason Worman on August 30, 2018, 08:10:27 PM

We have been working this past while to prepare the roof for winter sealing. We have removed all the old Dicor and silicon. We selected a product to reseal the roof called, "Through the Roof", has anyone tried this product. We have a fiberglass roof. Thanks

I think most here would rely on Dicor self-leveling.

I have not heard of that product. Why did you select it?  http://www.sashco.com/marketing/trf/index.html

Is it self applied or professionally applied (like Roof Armor)?

After coating the roof with Rustoleum marine deck coat, the report after several years wear is excellent.  Several members have used this and it seems better than new.

I was plagued for years with the streaks of the gel coat oxidizing and coming down the sides of the coach after every rain or heavy dew.

This summer, I redid the roof with the Rustoleum Marine Deck paint, as per the instructions in the Coach Assist section. We have not had any streaks since.

Jason,
If you are wanting to paint the roof to protect the fiberglass gelcoat, and stop the white streaks down the side of the coach, Rustoleum Top Side deck paint is an excellent choice. However, if you have a problem with hair line cracks or porosity in the fiberglass roof from hail damage or a flaw in the roof, you best choice is either the rubberized pickup bed coating or Dicor Fiberglass Roof Coating. https://dicorproducts.com/product/fiberglass-rv-roof-coating/

I have never heard of the product that you listed, but it may be good also.
