Exclamation Repairing small holes near gutter edge in TPO?

HELP!



We had numerous vultures "attack" the roof on our 2020 Salem FSX 167RBKX resulting in numerous holes (ranging from ~1/4" to 1 1/4"). Many of these holes are near the curved edge near the rain gutters (See attached pics, dirt on the roof is vulture footprints...).


What repair approach do you recommend?


I have some Dicor self-leveling lap sealant and some Dicor Seal-Tite on hand.

Eterna bond Tape will do the trick. I had a few tree limbs attack our roof in the same area.

x3 on the eterna bond. I've had similar holes/abrasions around mine and initially put dicor over them. Last summer I noticed a hole on the edge of the roof that I could stick my thumb in. Covered it with Dicor at campsite. Bought a roll of eterna bond when I got home and put over all holes/abrasions on roof material. I only use Dicor to replace Dicor now, everything else gets eterna bond.

I had a few small abrasions in that area too and just threw some white Dicor on it since I was touching up lap seals anyway.
