Messed up laying membrane?

I laid new membrane in windy conditions.

For the most part the membrane was laid well, with the required sag

However in a couple of areas, the membrane lifts up a little (pic 1 and 2), is a little tight in areas (pic 1), which allows a little water to pool a bit (please see pics). Eventually, if there is enough water, the water will drain down in these areas

Is it imperative to redo these areas? If so, do the battens need to come up?

This was a patch job and I plan or re-roofing my entire roof within the next near. Could I just get away with laying new tiles in these areas until the re-roof?

Imagine that you are a drop of water sneaking in behind the tiles. Are you going to get through the membrane?

Presuming that the answer is 'no' and this needs rectifying, what is the easiest way to sort this out?

Also, out of curiosity, do said tiny drops of water that don't drain to the eaves/gutter just sit on the membrane to evaporate later or do they soak through the membrane like a sieve?

I would re do that.

Do it once (in your case twice) and do it correctly.
 
Yes, it's not my finest work.

What's the easiest way to rectify this?
