With our Bounder's front and rear cap seams. I scraped off a few areas with distressed caulking; cleaned the full seam with acetone; applied fresh self leveling Dicor; covered the seam with one piece of 4" wide Eternabond; placed a bead of non self leveling Decor seal along the leading edge of the Eternabond.
We kept the Bounder for 4 years, and sold it to a neighbor about 8 years ago. Looked it over about 5 months ago (Helping him replace a fantastic fan.), and the caps seams Eternabond cover still looked goo. Dirtier for sure, but no puckering, or signs of potential water leaks areas.

(Reality, some day in the future, suspect this will require a second coverage with probably overlapping two long pieces of Eternabond. But that 12 year old job did not seem to need any attention...:)!)
