Re: re-directing the water dripping over door ! Stop at RV parts store
and get yourself a tube of "Dicor" self leveling sealant. It's
recommended for rubber roofs, but works well on most roof surfaces.
Then
I simply run a 3/8" bead of "Dicor" across wherever the run-off from AC
is coming down, and re-direct it so the run-off comes off roof
elsewhere. Don't try to smooth it out or anything, as I said, it is self
leveling, just use a caulking gun, lay a bead about 3/8" and allow it
to set for a few hours if you can. Make sure you pick a time where AC is
off for a couple hours so (run-off) water isn't present. You"ll see the
path (stain) on roof where it travels to guide you for redirecting.
It's a simple fix, and no screws or nails required. Use the rest of the
Dicor to fill in any gaps, cracks etc you see on sealant on the roof
while your up there, but clean those before applying. If you can wipe
your intended path down with some mild cleaner prior to applying bead,
it will help it stick better as well. Even a little dish soap in water
will do, just be careful, it gets pretty slippery when soap on there.
Quick rinse with water then dry with rag, or let the sun dry it.
Actually on a rubber roof, It should be scrubbed with mild detergent at
least once a season anyway.
