Another newbie question from gryffendorfen... When I was cleaning the roof, I noticed that the aluminum panels were a little warped. It was raining at the time, and water was pooling near the roof vent, but not around it. Can these aluminum panels be flattened out, or will they need replacing? I took some photos (below), but they don't really capture the problem. Also, the aluminum panel on sidewalk side, below the seem, had been damaged during transport. Can this be repaired, or does it need to be placed? Thanks for any help! 1. Warped roof: 2. Bent Aluminum 1: 3. Bent Aluminum 2:

I think the roof can be helped to regain some flatness. You'll have to take it loose to do it.
The bottom dents can be straightened a lot. Remove the bottom trim and inspect the skirt boards before worrying about the dents. The worse dents can be straightened with a rubber hammer and a piece of wood. The little ripples will probably have to stay. Not sure until the skins are loosened...
