Anyone have trouble with their roof membrane pulling up during driving? Looked like a balloon was attached to the roof driving through South Dakota last week.
I went through the roof after winter storage. No cuts or weak/missing caulking. Looks like the crosswind was creating a lift scenario and the adhesive was weak and pulled up in front of the antenna; even rippled the top leading panel. Noticed all the way down the roof rails that it had pulled up.
I'm hoping it's a warranty item but the trailer is 14 months old.... I asked the dealer to submit as a roof replacement since I'm worried it stretched the material out. Waiting on Forest River's response. Dealer says it could be 3-4 weeks.
there have been some late comers to still acquire. work with the dealer and FR to see what can be done. i guess it is not mandated that dealers inform you of the program.
I had a similar roof balloon and fixed it myself for cheap. I was well out of warranty so that wasn't an option. This is the link to my fix: http://www.forestriverforums.com/for...lem-65169.html
I believe its been over a year, well over 6000mls and all is good.
You could also try your insurance, could have been a "tree limb" that started the issue.
Good Luck

Similar thing happened to me after 5 months new. Dealer said send pictures, did, then they said I hadn't done the 6 month pm to check and seal caulking. I'd only had it for 5 months. Btw, caulking was fine, roof had pulled away from the roof vent, They still denied claim, fixed myself after 3 or 4 months going back and forth with the factory. Pass on the 2 year warranty, waste of money,
well, after 3 months of dealing with this (trailer at dealership, waiting to be repaired), got the TT back last weekend. FR did honor the warranty work. Dealership replaced entire roof and a component of the roof substructure up front. Hope it lasts more than one year this time.
