I have a standing seam roof (slope: 1 and 12) that was installed incorrectly on my mini storage building. There are 4 rows of panels (2’ wide each) where the lap joints are not staggered or even above a structural member. The roof has already been mechanically seamed and these lap joints leak profusely. It is quite obvious that the splice plates alone did not provide enough structural support to prevent the original seals from breaking (possibly due to the erector’s own crew walking on it). Unfortunately, I am unable to provide any support from underneath due to space constraints i.e. mechanical and electrical piping and ducting. My thought is to seal the laps with a flexible flashing product on all of the low portions of the panels (from rib to rib for the 4 rows). Should I be concerned about flashing over the ribs with one continuous piece? Can you make any recommendations or provide a better option?

I do not have any better options for repair.
However, I am very concerned about the problems you have identified and I also am curious whether these roof panels are really intended for a roof of that low of pitch. Is this a mechanically (field) seamed standing seam?
I am fairly convinced you will not find a successful long term repair. The roof probably needs to be removed and replaced.
