Rust on exterior, from inside drip rail/rain gutter.

My 2016 Jayco TT 32BHDS has a couple of streaks of rust on the outside. Looking at it closer, it seems to be running from under the drip rail/rain gutter on the top of the RV. When looking at it closely, it looks like jayco didn't seal the underside of the drip rail in random spots, so I guess that is the cause.

So I'm going to buy some Geocel 28100V and seal the spots they missed. I am wondering if I should do anything else, like spray some anti rust spray in a few days before and then wipe the surface clean, or once it is sealed do you think the rust will stop?

    These are screws under the drip rail (covered by it), the only way to get to them would be to pull it all off the RV. I don't think that is going to happen.

    I will post pictures.
