    This being the "Popular front" forum I would guess as much .

    Does`nt the sealing rubber around the edge just lever out using a large screw driver or such?. There should be a join in the rubber, that would be a good starting point...

    Okey, thx Brizey, so its just the rubber holding it together, if so thats great. I thought maybe it was some kind of steel frame also, that helps holding it in place.

    sorry for my bad english..

    I want to hang on here. The roof pad was nailed to the frame rail on my Pop.
    I'm just redoing the roof and wonder if I could not just staple, or are there disadvantages?

    to the outline of the frame... but the wooden spars is also a good idea, thx!

    this is how it looked before the paint. so i removed the nails and all the stuff. now i want to renew it and hope not to get any wrinkles in the vinyl.
    no idea how to turn it smooth at the corners, it has to go through the channel.... am curious, heat or no heat?
    and yes, we had some hungry animals under the roof
