That doesn't work because they list both EPDM and TPO
I understand GD switched materials in late 2015. 2016 Reflection 29RS VIN# 573FR322XG3305717
Thanks
We can tag GD here for this answer but they will more than likely go through the same steps as you would if you called customer service. That would be the best method , ask to speak to the Reflection team or rep and they will confirm by your vin which you would have.
You also can drop one of the vent trim rings and note the color of the inside of the roof membrane.

I posted the VIN because I thought GD would read it, and save me the hassle of a phone call. If you can tag them please do so. Thanks
johndeerefarmer When we first started as a company we used a Dicor rubber roof material and in late 15 or early 16 we switch to an Alpha systems TPO. That is what we currently use today, as for sealant we also use a self-leveling sealant from Alpha systems. Hope that helps!
Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself. Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, we have nothing to gain should you choose to purchase a product or engage a service we discuss on this forum.
I wonder when GD will consistently use one type of roof material, TPO or PVC. The Reflections are using PVC and have an 18yr warranty, whereas, the TPO is on everything else and only has a 12yr warranty. It gets confusing for sales guys when we're repping many different mfg's.

Are you sure, Scott? I thought Transcends have the PVC and everything else is TPO. If Reflections are using PVC that is big news.

Now I'm confused. I just looked on the GD website and can't find PVC anywhere. I know I just saw it earlier. It's beer-thirty somewhere....
Transcend Xplor: TPO Roof Membrane w/ 18 Year Warranty.
Reflection: One-Piece TPO Roof Membrane with 18-Year Warranty
Solitude: TPO Roof Covering w/ 12-Year Warranty
Imagine: Doesn't reflect either type of covering

In the Transcend Owner's Manual there's a reference to the component manufacturer for the "PVC Roof".
You're right, though, that the Construction page on the website for Transcend shows TPO. <sigh>
