Sealing Cab Running Lights That Have a Rubber Base..
Good Evening,
Working to reseal the front and rear roof lights on our Monaco. There are 5 teardrop shaped amber ones on the front and 5 red ones on the rear. The lights are in good shape and have a rubber base.
In the original factory installation, the silicon caulk did not stick well to the rubber base of the light. It was well adhered to the fiberglass but had pretty much completely separated from the rubber base on each light. Once the lights were unscrewed, they could be lifted free with all the silicon remaining attached to the coach.
I plan to bed the light in butyl tape and seal the edges with caulk. Any thoughts on a type of caulk that will stick well to the rubber base on the lights?
Thanks
Dan
P.S. so far I am leaning toward Dicor Non-Leveling...
