Well, now that our monty is 2 yrs old plus some, I noticed 9 staples have worked their way up in three different places near the sides of the roof. The highest were about 1/2 inch up. I could push all of them back down very very easy...so it is obvious that they are in no way securing the radius edges down to the rest of the roof. Staples have no place in securing the roof sheathing...in my opinion. And...wouldn't it be nice if the radius edges were bonded. Given that we sit in place for 6 months in florida before towing north for 5 months...you can't say that this is travel related. John
