Hello Plastic has a very high expansion rate , GRP probably expands also , in the large area you mention, so yes, expansion or incorrect fixings is probably causing your problem , could even be the roof moving slightly with expansion . Joining the two together could cause more problems . There is an adhesive black foam tape used on industrial buildings tin roofs [ about 1 inch thick ] that could be used in the gap. Hope this helps Peter R. Beamish Const. Services.
