Good question, good way of thinking, but I think you be voiding your warranty, and running the risk is introducing bigger problems in the future. I "think" it's best to stick with he manufacture's method ... dicor.

I understand about the warranty but some manufacturers warranty is only 90 days to 6 months then what? I'm not conflicting with you but after the warranty it's up to the owner to decide how and what to do with maintenance.

Is Eternabond a better method? I don't know, is Eternabond life span worth it? Is Eternabond once weathered, worn or damaged is it easy to remove, replace or repair? Does Eternabond preforms well under hot to freezing temperatures to driving couple thousands miles per year with all vibrations twisting etc. I too, have questions on Eternabond and very interested in this product but still weighting on whether I should use it or not. Hopefully some can provide some insight on this product.

Thanks

Speaking to the warranty. I took my trailer to manufacturer for warranty work. They saw the Eternabond and applauded my use of it. I firmly believe, as already mentioned, if it was cheaper than caulk, it would be their go to product.

To address how well Eternabond holds up, I will point out that it has been on my trailer for over 11 years, being outside and exposed to the weather the entire time. I take my trailer seriously off roading occasionally, and if flexes quite a bit. You can see evidence of it in various places, but not on the roof. A couple years ago I added two 4" strips across the top of my worn awning in hopes of extending its life. They are still stuck down completely despite the opening, closing, cleaning, etc that takes place on a typical awning.

To address the repair ramifications, you can Eternabond right over old Eternabond. No need to remove it. Additionally, that applies to any roof repair. Cut where you need to, then Eternabond over that cut. Don't make it more challenging than necessary.
