I have some but never had to use it. Seems like some say if you heat it after applying to a well prepped area it becomes a durable repair. No idea if it’s true. PlusRoc brand at least this was the sentiment.

Never heard of applying heat...but worth a shot!

Looks like something spilled above, soaked through and split.

Flex seal tape works quite well to seal the under belly area.

Hey all,
I would advise either being extremely careful or avoid applying heat to the original material that is installed from the factory.
When I was installing my Boogey lights, I was using a heat gun(no flame) to seal up heat shrink connecter that I used.
Next thing I know, the tape is disintegrating right before my eyes from the hot air passing over the connecter and I was several inches away from the tape on the back wall.
Just sharing my experience with the factory installed material.

In re water on the underbelly... I had a rain scoop at the front edge of the Coroplast. I added a section of aluminum "L" across it and cut off the excess. I do not know whether it helped or not as I've not taken down any Coroplast yet but it has to be better now. This is the before photo.

Excellent point!! I still vote for Flex Seal spray in this specific area.

Melt schmelt. I say throw caution to the wind but put your insurance company on speed dial.

Same thing on mine. I trimmed up the excess. I like the idea of angle iron across the belly much like the factory did to run the propane line to the curb side. Adding one more further back would help support the belly sag.

I hit the area with flex seal spray. May even put some tape over it to clean up the appearance and spray the edges with more flex seal. Stuff is pretty tough, can’t get it off my hand.
I like the idea of the spray...do you think the spray would hold up underbelly tape? I am noodling an idea...FYI...gas will remove anything...ask me how I know
I doubt the tape will hold up better with spray. I'd just go spray.

Had to use a combo of both. The fabric was hanging down and the spray wouldn’t fill the gap from the sagging fabric. I added some tape and covered it all with spray. See how it holds up.
