Fiber Glass roof?
What is the best way to fix a couple small (quarter size) bad spots on my 2000 Windsor?

Please provide a little more detail and possibly a photo. What do you mean by bad spots. Is the fiberglass gone?

The top layer of the fiberglass is chipped out and gone I do not have a picture, the issue is not leaking water but it may over time. do i just cover it with some dicor or some other product?

The white gelcoat maybe is missing? If it is still structurally intact , like not a hole through the roof I'd put a piece of Eternabond on it. It's like a very very sticky piece of rubber. It's supposed to be good for at least 10 years. It's kinda pricy, but a good thing to have on hand.

Pro Flex Rv Bright White
Any flavor of this stuff will do nicely. Clean the area well, put a dab of this on and scrape it level. Darn stuff is really sticky until dry and then remains very flexible.

I'm taking my CB antenna off the roof and I'm going to use a fiberglass kit to patch the hole. I've also got two small holes that were covered with self leveling roof sealer and I'm going to patch them with fiberglass too. It's not hard to do, permanent and won't look any worse than dicor or eternabond does.

The gelcoat layer i the waterproof element. Fiberglass is noy waterproof. If the gelcoat is damaged, it needs to be replaced. Paint is one option.

Fiberglass isn't waterproof? Can you expound on that a little. The glass resin is absolute waterproof.

Fiberglass isn't solid resin. The fibers are saturated but not solid.
