My 1993 Dodge high top van looks like it needs to be recaulked where the fiberglass meets the metal van roof gutter. What is the recommended caulk to use?
Also, I see a fine stress crack in the front of the high top about eight inches running center from top to bottom. No leaking problems from it. Will this be a problem later?

Hi Ron,

Caulking Link

For competent fiberglass repair, take it to a Marine (boat) repair center.

DIY repair?

The best is Pro-Flex RV . It worked GREAT for my leaky Class B hightop. It adheres to the metal , fiberglass and aluminum . it wont peel or crack apart when you hit the road . This stuff works . I was told by my local RV shop to use silicone , DONT DO IT !!!
