While it’s been up we've had substantial rains in So Cal and I found that I've got quite a leak going on. I'm guessing that I should go the route that Steppy did and remove the entire unit and then re-seal, or can one get away with simply removing the old caulking and reseal from the top side? Also would everyone agree that the 3M Marine Adhesive Sealant is the right product to use?

Your advise will be welcome,

Our experience with other trailers and motorhomes is a complete removal, cleaning and reseal is the only option that works. We have never used the 3m marine sealent so have no experience there.
