Eagle roof joints

Attached is the photo of my eagle roof. It’s about six months old. We’ve been out with it twice this summer. We recently picked it up from storage and I noticed the joints between the roof panels all look like this. If I press my finger into the seam I can feel a small gap. On one it appears the panel is slightly higher than the adjoining panel. I’ve never noticed this before and I’ve been up on the roof each time we’ve been out. Normal, or a concern?

Get it to the dealer for documentation! A good dealership would know if it's an issue or not.

Mine is like that on the joints where there is a change in roof angle.

I sent the photos to the dealer and apparently it’s ...surprise, surprise...a quality control issue. The roof panels werent butt as closely against each other as they could have been, before the joint was taped. I plan to go the RVroof.com route so I guess I won’t worry about it. Everything seems solid enough as I walk around up there.

Isn't RVRoof a spray coating for the existing roof? If so that wouldn't change the gap although it would make the material at the gaps a lot thicker. I assume you're concerned about a leak at the gap.
