The silicone is on a 1972 travel trailer (painted aluminum) we bought. We want to recaulk everything.
Nano, My unit is same vintage or so, 1987; painted aluminum siding and silicone or some kind of petrified sealer. I go back to the "Contractors Solvent" or equivalent and a couple of good plastic scrapers. I like the windshield scraper idea. You might want to invest in a heat gun for the troublesome stuff.
Get ready with some PL400 construction adhesive for sticking bits back together as well.
