Let me try to de-r.a.s. this.

Nobody was discussing heat or UV dammage to a trailer trailer top.

AFAIK Eric is asking why a fiberglass top trailer may be less of a problem with heat inside damaging a glider than an aluminum top trailer.

(Careful now r.a.s. don't guess, Eric may be correct. And no, the roof of an aluminum trailer feel hotter but that is a thermal mass and conductivity effect).
