Rubber Roof Bubbles

Easy question, I hope. If there are small bubbles along the edge of a rubber roof on a 5th wheel, does that mean it is leaking or that they air bubbles? I have not seen any leaks inside. I am getting ready to recoat the entire roof with new sealant but wanted to make sure I did not have a major issue. When recoating the roof, should those bubbles be stuck with a pin to remove air (if that is what it is) before recoating or what? Any suggestions?

Most likely just where the glue did not stick. Moisture could be if near seams. I would probley use a glue needle and shot glue in them

Tks .I plan on recoating the roof soon. The RV (5th Wheel) is only 3 1/2 years old. Roof dirty but I have not seen any leaks anywhere. I'll do the needle thingy before I recoat. Is there a special kind of glue/needle and where do you get it?

Most of rv stores will have what you need . Have you mashed them to see if its a bubble or may e something undr the material. If it not soft would not fool with it
