OK, the repair was completed a few weeks ago and I was not able to get pics because we ended up leaving the coach there for the repair and picked up the following week, sorry. I will try to give a verbal as explained to me prior to and after repair (recommend referencing diagram in my op to get a visual). They removed the sealant where the fiberglass roof tucks into the awning rail and cut the fiberglass on the curve at the end cap (since the roof goes on prior to the end cap this is the only way to accomplish w/o removing the end cap). This allowed them to pull up enough of the fiberglass roof to expose the area in which the bolts were so the new ones could be installed. Install new bolts, tuck fiberglass back into awning rail, reseal that channel and the cut/seam at end cap. You can't even tell anything has been done, good as new!
Now upon our thorough spring roof cleaning/inspection this past weekend we have found that a small section on the passenger side is pulling away under the awning and a seperate problem from that, we also have a 4 foot surface crack (back to front) in the fiberglass on the curve toward the rear. Good golly, here we go with the tape, we are in the habit of taping our roof this year, great invention, that duct tape. ;D Not to worry, will give pics and more detail when we catch our breath .
