Hi all! I was hoping for some advice on sealing the edge of a flat metal roof - not a typical condition. Pretty much everything I've found on the interwebs for flat roofs talks about shingles or EPDM. But anyway, here's a couple pics.
The dilemma of course is that on a flat roof condition, the drip edge can serve as a means for water to enter the roof below the r-panel. And it does - especially in a directional rain.
My best guess at the moment is to remove the drip edge.
Then lift up the r-panel.
Apply a thick bead of sealant on the top of the drip edge.
Then reinstall the drip edge.
The sealant would hopefully act as a stop for water traveling into the roof between the r-panel and the drip edge.
But then I've still got little openings under all the ribs. And I can't think of an elegant way to seal those up.
Thanks! :)
