- Tom_BarbExplorerRemove the assembly, clean the area, re-bed the whole thing with new sealant, new stainless screws and seal the heads with the best sealant you can buy.
- SCVJeffExplorerFor that: Probably Dicor
- gboppExplorerIf, you can get the Eternabond to conform to the curves/Bends around the vent, that would be the best choice.
Tom/Barb gave you some good advice. Dicor is an excellent choice for a sealant. - korbeExplorerI would use dicor for this application. Won't say it's the best choice, but it would be my choice. :)

How good of a job do you want to do?
Just stop the leak? load it up with roof patch from ACE hardware. want it to last and look good? do as I suggested above. - Tom_BarbExplorer

You can get Eternabond to conform by using a heat gun. don't get carried away it will melt. if it does melt, don't touch it, it will burn you like hot tar. just let it cool, then try again. or use a damp sponge to push it down. - gboppExplorer

I did not know that, so Eternabond would be the best choice? :)
You probably gave them the best advice. - korbeExplorer

You know what? I have used both eternabond tape and dicor. They both have their advantages for specific types of situations. I use dicor at rubber roof and plastic vent connections. - BeakerExplorerI used Eternabond. Did not bend it. Used 4 straight strips and roll really good.
- Bill_SatelliteExplorer IIBoth should work depending upon the situation. I prefer Dicor self-leveling for all my roof maintenance but which ever you choose the preparation is the most important thing to ensure you are happy with the results.
