    Fiberglass Exterior Peeling At Rear Corner Isata 28SS

    I have a 2022 Isata 28SS and noticed the fiberglass is peeling at the rear corner. At first I thought it was just caulk but after taking a closer look it seems like the fiberglass is peeling slightly. Has anyone seen this? What would be the proper fix?

    Which VHB Tape for Textured Fiberglass

    I've settled on rigid panels for my popup. Will use VHB tape. Add screws for two brackets each side that will be over backers (approx 39 inch spacing). Which VHB tape to use? Should I drill panel frame and void warranty for a middle bracket or adhesive between those brackets and panel?
