Roof Repair Question

Question

I have a large picture window in my back wall. After having to sit thru a rain out day this past week, I discovered water coming in around the top of the window. I am pretty sure it is coming from the roof area (discovered a previous one here before)as I checked window seal and marker lights.

I am ordering Enterabond tape and was going to place over entire seal at roofs edge. 1) Do I remove the grey caulking that is there now and 2) do I need to seal around the tape with additional caulking?

Thanks in advance for the help

Removing the old caulk is desirable but not absolutely necessary.  No sealing of edges required.

Thanks. I will probably remove the old just to see why the problem started. I was just not sure about sealing the edges once the enterbond had been applied.

I had a similar issue and used the Enterbond tape both on the rear and along the front edge where the roof joins the front.  I sleep easy at night now.  Point of interest............. Once the tape touches, it sticks on contact.  Also, use a small wall paper roller and roll the tape good after it is placed.  If you have a large air bubble, just cut a small slot, squeeze the air out and then apply caulk to slit.
