I want reseal the joint where mt fiberglass roof meets the gutters. I was hoping to find a sort of bronze or brown colored Dicor, but that does not seem to be a color that they offer. Any suugestions as to the best product to use? I don't want silicone.

I have pretty much the same paint on my 05 Horizon. After much research I finally ordered the clear sealant recommended by Lichtsinn.

This is the best that I have used, applied 4 years ago and still elastic with no cracks. Drys clear (not for rubber roofs)

OSI Quad comes in bronze and is, I believe, a urethane based product.

I went to a boat supply place nearby to look at 3M 4000 UV urethane sealant. They also did not have bronze in that brand but had another brand that had similar specs (cure, stretch, hardness, uv resistance, etc) in bronze. It was rated for above and below the water line and for fiberglass. I wish I kept the name/brand but I through out the tubes when I was done.

Winnebago specs a bright white urethane for that-

I really would go with what they recommend, as the roof is held on with sealant. A pain, but the urethane is paintable.

Ro646a,
Not exactly sure why you're against using Silicone. Just for your information, watch and listen carefully to this video. It's put on by Lichtsinn RV. They are located about a block from the Winnebago factory. They get their information and maintenance instructions from WINNEBAGO. Being that you have what appears to be a full body painted coach, see what they say to use on it.
