Best Fix for a little sealant delamination Front Cap

I was doing a little camper winter pre-inspection this weekend on my AF 990 and noticed a pretty good delamination of sealant right at the EPDM and Fiberglass front cap joint. This pic is looking forward - passenger side. Since this is the first sealant repair I'll be doing whats the best product and procedure? Should I pull up the sealant, clean, and put on new sealant or just clean and apply sealant over and in the gap? Fix thoughts and product recs from experience much appreciated.

    I would remove all the loose sealant in that area and uncover the screws in the trim piece that covers the seam. Make sure they are tight and the wood underneath isn't rotten. You need a mechanical junction to keep that point from opening again. You may even want to add another screw of two to keep this area tight. Then reseal with Dicor self leveling caulk.
