Sealant recommendations

There is a flexible line of sealant where the roof line meets a channel then there's the driver side awning. This seal is splitting. What is a good method to patch this? I tried to attach a photo but couldn't get it to work.

Trempro 635

Hello, I've used a plastic or bone tool to remove old sealant off of areas like that, and then acetone or mineral spirits on a rag to clean the surface. Lay a thin bead of trempro 635 in the seam and you should be good to go for a few years. I hope this helps!

I use this for any sealant replacement. Remove old sealant with a bone tool or sealant removal tool. Wipe clean then apply this in aluminum color

Sikaflex 221 Caulk.

Sika 221 in gray. Use mineral spirits to clean area and smooth caulk.
