IMO, Eternabond tape is an improvement over the spreading of more sealants, especially in areas that see movement or a lot of water drainage.
If the "turn bar" is relatively flat to the surface, you can apply Eternabond Roof Seal on top of it. If it is say, 1/2" proud of the roof surface, Roof Seal will have a hard time bending over it. You can either remove it or use the more flexible Eternabond Webseal. Webseal needs the top surface to be coated with paint after installation. Roof Seal has it's own plastic top surface.
One tip about the tapes: The surface the tape is pressed on needs to be scrupulously clean---think "Hospital clean" or "body shop clean". I used mineral spirits followed by solvent. Acetone is a good final solvent for EPDM roofs.
