On February 14, 2019, we were in contact with our rv dealer in reference to bubbles on the roof. The tech there found that the staples were popping up under the rubber roof and stated the roof will need to be removed and the staples removed and replaced with screws. Factory was contacted and said no to this type of repair but authorized removing two or three of the worst staples and installing attic vents in its place. There are currently more staples coming up and drilling more holes in the roof is not a solution to the problem. Eventually they will wear a hole in the roof causing water damage. The roof is on a 2017 redwood vin 4ydf3402xh9340061. Lisa Price is this the same type of issues you are having?

That's exactly what my 2017 31SL is doing.

From what I gather after a bit of researching, those are staples that have worked their way free. Seems when the roofing boards are laid down, they are screwed down on the edges but stapled in the middle. Over time with the flexing of the roof panels from travel and walking on them, plus expansion and contraction due to humidity, they can sometimes pop up.
