He's also open to other suggestions... so long as y'all don't make him take the durn thing off and start from scratch! ;)
Thanks!
Dicor Lap Sealant is the correct product to use to fix the leak but it's unfortunately only effective when you know where the leak is and cover it properly with new sealant.
I wouldn't want to remove the vent unnecessarily either as pulling that sealant from the roof can do more damage than good. He will need to do a thorough inspection to find and confirm the leak, then clean and apply new sealant etc. Just putting another layer over everything is likely a waste of time and will complicate things when he has to go back up and fix it again.
