Puncture hole on top of slideout

I have a 2016 320 BHDS. Today as I was blowing off the dinette slideout, I found a small hole about the size of a nickel that appears to have just torn through the membrane. I bought some eternabond tape to fix it but I'm not 100% sure on what I should use to prep the surface before the application. Someone mentioned denatured alcohol? Also does anyone know if the slideouts in these units use azdel like the sides do? I don't think a lot of water got in and don't see any leaks but Im trying to make sure I fix it right so we don't have issues down the road.

Thank you
Bob

I don't think the top of the slide is Azdel.

I was thinking the same thing but I wasn't really sure.

Thanks for the feedback.

According to the selling dealer when I bought my FE 310BHDS the top and sides of the slides are not Azdell. I'm thinking that having a clean surface, using denatured alcohol and Eternabond tape would be the solution to repairing this hole.
