Roof sealant

[mercedesme28]

I'm installing a new Antenna and want to know the best Sealant to use on a white rubber roof ?
The roof is about 10 yrs old.
Any help would be great thank you

I used Dicor on my rubber roof. I was satisfied with the results. The previous owner applied silicone so I had to scrape it off but I applied the Dicor over the remaining caulk.

Yes I need to peel back the old crap, any thing needed for that ?
Thanks

Do you need to remove old caulk before applying Dicor? Looks like build up will be huge if I don't .

Won't find Dicor at the big box stores. Home Depot does have a roof material section with sealants that roofers use. Try PPL, Camping World or a local RV dealer. Sikaflex is a good polyurethane sealant. Try a roofing company and see what they have. I have used polyurethane with good success on seals on fiberglass but would be hesitant to use anything but Dicor if your current sealant, and it probably is, Dicor

Never use Silicone on a rubber roof. Dicor is good. I have just gone over my antenna base with Eternabond Tape. I won't have to worry about caulking again.

I had two small leaks last year and I used Dicor and haven't had a problem since! Easy to work with and it's a very good product! Good Luck in whatever you choose.

Dicor self leveling.
