Well unfortunately due to time constraints, (no camping world closer than an hour away nor time to wait on Amazon to deliver,)I did use the silicone today. (Unfortunately, my email system also didn't deliver notification of all the posts either until late this evening - I guess I am just lucky these days!)
May I ask why silicone would not adhere in this application since sealing is what it is made for and the skin is aluminum? It does not make sense that it would cause leaking and not prevent it. The sealant that was already up there was another matter.... very rough and a real mess. I dont' know what it was as I have never seen anything like it, though I did my best to clean it with mineral spirits before applying the silicon.
Feel free to explain and I'll take my lumps.
Oh and please tell me how is one suppose to get up high enough to reach some of these areas on a small compact RV? I had a heck of a time even with a high ladder reaching areas that needed the resealing. Taking it off is gonna be a real chore with no way to sit on the roof.
Thanks for any assistance.
Janet
