THANKS for all the help guys. I finally found the Eternabond I wanted at a Walmart--I had to shop at several-- and I placed it on the tear. Here is hoping that it will last and no leaks. We will be able to check when we next go back to our trailer.
We haven't had trouble with the screws yet, but the putty looks to be drying up and will probably need to be changed this year, when weather and time permits.
