Window caulk is still dripping on 3 year old trailer

The window caulking is running down the side of the trailer, especially where it is exposed to sun. I am thinking that it can be cleaned off the side of trailer and then caulk with silicone caulking to seal everything up and stop the running caulk. Anyone know why this would be happening??? Thanks

Does anyone know what caulk to use on the trailer windows? Thanks

This caulk was applied at the factory. What kind of caulk should be used? You are right, it does act like self-leveling.

Is this new caulking you applied?

I'm thinking its "self-leveling" caulk, which is for flat surfaces, not vertical. On vertical surfaces you would want to use non-sag caulking.

You might be able to clean it off with mineral spririts, but I would not apply silicone caulk. Once applied, it cannot be caulked over if needed, because nothing will stick to it.
