yes you can but clean it with asatone real good it will stay stuck that way. dont forget to use a wallpaper roller to actavate the tape after you put it on.

I had a similar set of tears (only for a longer distance - damn tree limb) on my last Montana. Eternabond covered the holes and was still firmly attached seven years later. It is good stuff.
P.S. These kinds of discoveries are why you should wash your roof periodically. Washing forces you to look closely at the entire surface.

yes i agree i try to wash the roof 1st time out of hibernation and then maybe in the fall before hibernation, i did go to my rv dealer and got some rubber roof material and put it on it sticks great i also went around the edges with dicor self leveling compound so hopefully this will take care of it

That tape provides a repair tougher than the original roof. I have always carried a role; you can buy precut patches as well.

Never leave home without a couple patches in the toolbox. Oh! Wait, I full time. Guess I just always have some with me.

Be prepared when placing the eternabond on the roof. You get ONE chance. Where you place it is where it is going to stay! Guess how I know. I have three patches on my roof, 4 years old and they will outlast the rest of the roof.
