Driving in a storm yesterday, the front edge lifted and started flapping...I pulled over and stuck it back down. That was OK to get me home.
Electrical tape isn't enough. It dawned on me that the solution to poor adhesion would be to apply duct tape to the edges of the area first. The wrap should hold strongly to duct tape and duct tape should hold strongly to the textured roof.
Possibly add a strip of duct tape over the top a the edge just to be sure- especially as you wouldn't want it to snag on a low branch.
This problem only applies to textured surfaces.
