There is new butyl tape behind every piece of trim that was removed and replaced. And all new screws were used in the rebuild which is already complete. It doesn't make sense to back each screw out to add a dab of caulk and retighten them all. But thanks for the suggestion.
actually, it does, as you don't caulk the vinal insert and you have made a path that the water can migrate down the screw head. The vinyl strip is just for looks, to cover up the ugly screws. now having said that the factory doesn't put silicone in the screw holes which is why we get rotting wood and rusted screws. it wouldn't take much to do it if you haven't put the vinyl strip in yet.
