What roof sealant to have on hand Winne

Dicor makes both the self-leveling for flat surfaces and a non-self-leveling for corners and vertical surfaces. It's good stuff. I'd recommend having one of each on hand....but yes, it does have a shelf life and it will go bad if you don't use it for a long time.

But it on eBay ??

Up to you, but I don't think I would use the tape on a 2013 unless it's already pretty rough on the outside. If it truly needs resealed, once it's done it should last for years. Mine has not needed it yet except in two spots.

Do like Bruce Brown said use Eternabond tape on the side roof seal and the cap to roof seal and you won't have to worry about it for year to come.

It's not a leak issue, but I'll argue with Bruce on that until I pass this planet :) It actually can't leak through there if the weep holes below are clear. The seal is a mechanical adhesion issue that keeps the roof flap sealed to the awning rail. If it is allowed to come loose, the wind can get under it and it will peel your roof back.

I you can push back on the fiberglass and it separates away from the awning rail, the sealant has failed and needs to be replaced. The sealant adhears the the fiberglass flap to the awning rail as shown in the diagram. There is no sealant behind that flap.

Depending on what color you're dealing with, if it didn't look silly you could Etrnabond it and be done with it. That's what we ended up doing on our friends Winne when nothing else would hold. Etrnabond ended the leaking once and for all.

Dicor self leveling lap sealant is fine for any of the stuff on the roof that penetrates through the level part of the roof.

Inspect your roof regularly, I wouldn't buy anything until you need it, it all has a shelf life as stated. Here is a video on how to inspect the critical edge seal. Winnebago Roof Cove Maintenance and below is a cross section of that seal.



You buy that thing yet?? :)

Yes I did and it’s driving me nuts now, lol
That area of the roof if you push on it you can see the caulk is only stuck on the roof you can push it away from the aluminum channel
But the roof overlaps the wall so is this a problem

huh?

They said that’s supposed to freefloat there ???

I always have both clear and white GE silicone caulk.
Now, after using ....through the roof...clear brush on sealant on my skylight, I'm also using it, in place of caulk for things like ...along rain gutters and around clearance lights, as well as above window trim and using a small brush or cue tip.
THROUGH THE ROOF
I got mine at Walmart online.
