Caulking type around lights

Question

Hi all,Just did the inspection around the lights on my fiver and found that I need to caulk the tops of the side lights again. What type of caulk is recommended to use to do that? I know silicone is not good for that but can you use Dicor?Thanks,Curly

Yes I would use Dicor Non Sag

To do it right, take the lights off, pop the cap and two screws.  Clean everything really well, apply a new bead of butyl putty tape.  And put it back together.  Next day using a plastic scraper, remove the excess putty and apply a bead of Dicor around the top and sides.  Be sure to leave the bottom with no Dicor to allow a place for water to escape.

I just noticed that the taillights need to be sealed again also. Will find some Dicor. ThanksCurly

I use pro flex sealant - found in most rv parts outlets.
