Yesterday I noticed some separation at some of the corner trim and rubber seal at the slide on our 221RB. It appears to be clear silicone caulk. Can someone confirm and if so, will Geocel Pro Flex Crystal Clear RV Flexible Sealant do the job for me? I would assume I need to completely remove the old or can it be cleaned and touched up? Thanks.

That Geocel can be a bear to work with--if you haven't used it before I suggest practicing on some scrap wood or something. Small (short), thin applications quickly followed up before it skins over (which happens very quickly).Forum moderators are not GD employees--we are volunteers and owners presumably just like yourself. Unless specifically mentioned otherwise, we have nothing to gain should you choose to purchase a product or engage a service we discuss on this forum.

The original caulking is silicone . . . and, nothing sticks to even a trace of the old silicone . . . not even new silicone. Removing that last trace of the old silicone (without damaging the surface underneath) is the problem. I have found that WD40 is as good as any other silicone remover.

I use a rag soaked in WD40 and a plastic razor blade scraper. The plastic blades don’t last long, so get a large box. (Relatively inexpensive on Amazon).

BillinTexas Bill, one of the guys at work had that one, he did not like the little holders as they flexed too much. He was also doing a shower with inside corners, so for your flat case, it may work better.Joseph
