Google or a you tube is always one of the best ways to find out how the pros do just about anything.
Aluminum siding comes off at the bottom and work your way up. Re install's from the top down.
Pin holes in the outer side skin ?? I either replace the skin or put a dab of sealant (for vertical application) in the hole depending on location and the size of the hole.
Use a self leveling sealant for resealing the roof. Or for a hole on the roof Eternabond works best IMO.
Sealing a corner ?? I remove all the old sealant thats loose and reseal with any of the many RV sealants made for vertical surfaces such as Proflex or Dicor or Sikaflex or Proseal/etc. Other folks have their favorite RV sealant for vertical surfaces.
I wouldn't use a 100 percent pure silicone product as they don't bond like a good RV lap sealant.
Whatever product you choose go to their website and follow ""their"" instructions. Many also have a you tube along with the instructions.
