Bubbles on roof

I was cleaning my roof yesterday and noticed a couple of what looks like air bubbles under the roof skin. Is this something that is normal or should I be concerned about it? They are about 3" wide and about 6" long. I assume the glue has released and allowed it to separate. How long is a roof warranty good for? Thanks in advance!

if the bubbles really bother you, one solution is to cut out an x in the middle of the bubble, put rubber roof adhesive down, let the repair sit with some weight on it. and the next day put eternabond roof tape over the X cut to seal.

Some people cringe about cutting more holes in a rubber roof as 1retired06 suggested, but I agree. An alternative is to use a large hypo needle to inject the glue. Either way, Eternabond is your friend after making the repair.
