calking job question

a few days ago it was raining and I discovered water dripping from the vents in the kitchen and bath. I took it to my local trailer/rv repair place and paid to have the roof calking all replaced. (I have had work done there a couple times before with good results.) I checked the job when I got home and the calking was semi cured. (I have used similar calking before where it takes many days if not weeks to cure completely to a hard state.) They did the work the day before yesterday and it rained last night and this morning (very light intermittent showers). The invoice specifies Silkaflex - but not which type. The rain doesn't seem to be affecting it. But I noticed that it looks like they didn't even clean the roof before applying the calking and it looks like they applied it right over the old calking. Does this sound right to you guys?

Sikaflex is preferred on several websites for caulking, (Some prefer Dicor) but removing the old caulking and cleaning the area is also recommended. Maybe you should have done it yourself! ๐Ÿ™‚
