Caulking question

[Naio]

Another day, another noob question :B

My van had an INCIDENT a few days ago. A friend was driving it and managed to wedge it under the porch roof of a church!

Got home and told me the whole long hilarious story involving a 300lb pastor standing on the bumper to bring the van down so friend could back out, pastor getting showered with plaster, whole congregation watching..

Anyway, the van is basically fine, other than scratches on roof, one corner of roof not quite the shape it used to be, and some 12" cracks in the (new) caulking where fiberglass roof was joined to the van.

My question:

Since the caulking was done only a few months ago, can I just clean its surface and recoat it? The guy who did the roof install used Alex Plus caulk. Do y'all hate that? I sure hope you are not going to tell me I have to scrape it out and redo...

Naio,,,, didn't you know your clearance? :h
Bet ya didn't think you had to pretend yer van was a class a,
Glad the damage was minor, try to get a chuckle out of it.

As an acrylic latex caulk clean it out and allow the area to dry thoroughly before applying, as long as water won't stand on it for long periods it should be fine. That product is ok, it just needs to thoroughly cure.
