I beg to differ with this explanation, and Doubletree will back me up. This has nothing to do with moulding. My front cap seperated from the roof by as much as 3/4", all the way across, either due to a bad batch of screws, or an over zealous installer who over torqued all but two of the screws. DT never owned up, but authorized mobile warranty repair, sending caulk and longer screws. I now have a mess on the roof due to a jack leg RV repairman who did the best he could with zero help from DT Engineering. Send me your e-mail address and I'll send photo's of the roof and sheared screws.
