Question

Need to replace one of the tail lights due to daughters breaking license plate bracket of tail light. So I ask the dealer for the sealant for the tail light, and he tells me to use silicone caulk, is this right? It's an aluminum sided trailer, and I thought I read numerous times not to use silicone.

I think there are much better sealers like 3M 4000 UV. IMO Silicone deteriorates and mildews too quickly and I wouldn't use it.

You could use silicon but my experience is that it will look nasty in short order, and while it is flexible, it tends to loose it's adhesion too quick.

I would use Geocel Pro Flex products or something like that instead.

Silicone is not for rubber roofs (maybe thats where you remember it from) but is "OK" for aluminum. But as others have said there are products that hold up better to the elements.
