An adjustable corner fitment for a roof and a method and apparatus for making the same are provided. The adjustable corner fitment may be comprised of a top membrane portion and a base membrane portion. The top membrane portion may have a cutout that may extend from a side of the top membrane portion. The base membrane portion may have four sides. The first side of the base membrane portion is preferably connected to the second side of the base membrane portion at a first angle greater than 90 degrees, and the third side of the base membrane portion is preferably connected to the fourth side of the base membrane portion at a second angle greater than 90 degrees. It is preferred that the top membrane portion and the base membrane portion are made from thermoplastic olefin (TPO) material or polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material.

The fitment of claim 1, wherein said cutout has two substantially parallel sides. 6. The fitment of claim 5, wherein said parallel sides of said cutout are separated by about 0.5 inch. 7. The fitment of claim 1, wherein said cutout extends from said side of said top membrane portion, said cutout decreasing in width as it extends from said side of said top membrane portion. 8. The fitment of claim 1, wherein said cutout extends from a middle portion of said side of said top membrane portion. 9. The fitment of claim 1, wherein said first side and said second side of said base membrane portion are connected by a tab. 10. The fitment of claim 1, wherein said second side of said base membrane portion is sealed to said top membrane portion prior to installation. 11. The fitment of claim 1, wherein said seal is a dielectric weld. 12. The fitment of claim 11, wherein said base membrane portion and said top membrane portion are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material. 13. The fitment of claim 1, wherein said seal is a hot air bond. 14. The fitment of claim 13, wherein said base membrane portion and said top membrane portion are made from thermoplastic olefin (TPO) material. 15. The fitment of claim 13, wherein said base membrane portion and said top membrane portion are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material. 16. An adjustable corner fitment comprising:a top membrane portion having a cutout, said cutout extending from a side of said top membrane;a base membrane portion having a first side, a second side, a third side, a fourth side, and a tab, said first side extending from said second side by said tab at a first angle greater than 90 degrees, said third side extending from said fourth side at a second angle greater than 90 degrees; andwherein said tab of said base membrane portion is sealed to said top membrane portion prior to installation. 17. The fitment of claim 16, wherein said first side and said second side of said base membrane portion are adjustable relative to said top membrane portion prior to installation; andwhereby an installer is able to adjust said corner fitment to a corner in the field and then, in a second sealing step, seal said first side and said second side of said base membrane portion to said top membrane portion, said base membrane portion remains substantially flat. 18. The fitment of claim 16, wherein said first side and said second side of said base membrane portion are sealed to said top membrane portion prior to installation, said base membrane portion remains substantially flat. 19. The fitment of claim 18, wherein said base membrane portion has a middle adjustment feature, said middle adjustment feature is relatively adjustable to allow said fitment to be adjustable when said first side and said second side of said base membrane po rtion are sealed to said top membrane portion. 20. The fitment of claim 18, wherein said seal is a dielectric weld. 21. The fitment of claim 20, wherein said base membrane portion and said top membrane portion are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material. 22. The fitment of claim 18, wherein said seal is a hot air bond. 23. The fitment of claim 22, wherein said base membrane portion and said top membrane portion are made from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) material. 24. The fitment of claim 22, wherein said base membrane portion and said top membrane portion are made from thermoplastic olefin (TPO) material. 25. The fitment of claim 16, wherein said top membrane portion is generally rectangular. 26. The fitment of claim 16, wherein said base membrane portion is generally diamond-shaped. 27. The fitment of claim 16, wherein said cutout has two substantially parallel sides. 28. The fitment of claim 27, wherein said parallel sides of said cutout are separated by about 0.5 inch. 29. The fitment of claim 16, wherein said cutout extends from said side of said top membrane portion, said cutout decreasing in width as it extends from said side of said top membrane portion. 30. The fitment of claim 16, wherein said cutout extends from a middle portion of said side of said top membrane portion. 31. An adjustable corner fitment comprising:a top membrane portion having a cutout, said cutout extending from a side of said top membrane portion;a base membrane portion; andwherein said base membrane portion is at least partially sealed to said top membrane portion prior to installation, said base membrane portion remains substantially flat. 32. The fitment of claim 31, wherein an unsealed portion of said base membrane portion is adjustable relative to said top membrane portion prior to installation; andwhereby an installer is able to adjust said corner fitment relative to a corner in the field and then, in a second sealing step, seal said unsealed portion of said base membrane portion to said top membrane portion, wherein said base membrane portion remains substantially flat. 33.
