Sounds similar. Next time I get a leak, I'll pry up the plastic strip and take a look at what's underneath. Your method sounds very neat, with no caulk at the edges, especially as I'm really messy with caulk.

On the Elkmont roof there are three long strips running the length of the roof, one in the center and one on each side abutting the painted Al corner piece. All of them come (poorly) caulked. And there's other pieces on the sides and ends.
