I live in Florida. I'm concerned about the effect of strong winds on my new rolled roof. My question concerns the drip edge - particulary the small space between the drip edge and the facia board. I believe it is this small space where wind can penetrate , get up under the rolled roofing and rip or tear your rolled roofing off - Understand? AGREE? Anyway, I was thinking about using some " Great Suff " expanding foam in this space in hopes that it will keep the wind from getting up in there.. What do you think of this idea? Will it work?

First guy... don't believe anyone who says they know the answer to your problem from your description. There are simply too many variables in it and no way to give a competent answer without putting an eyeball on it. You need an experienced local roofer you trust to come and look at it. I'd come look at it for ya but i'm in China teaching people how to build and farm at the moment... good luck.
