Just happened to run across this post that I missed earlier. Make sure you read my post about roof leaks - yet another cause. The picture looks exactly like the issue I am fighting. The brackets are different on our Anthem but the picture of the cracking caulk is exactly the same as ours. Willing to bet the problem is not the caulk but that the bracket fasteners are stripped and loose. No caulk or tape is going to fix the problem long term if the bracket is moving.

Takes 5 minutes to scrape the caulk away on the top surface of that bracket and check the fasteners. When you discover them stripped the fix will take much longer........and it isn't just more caulk or tape!!

If I knew it wouldn’t rain I’d almost prefer no sealant, do my on, then Eternabond but then you get balled up in the whole warranty business.

NIRVC might do it for you before you pick it up.....,,

From info on previous posts, the new sealant that Entegra uses is a silicone and the Eternabond will not work on top of silicone.

Edit- New product was posted earlier in this thread - http://www.irv2.com/forums/f278/roof...ml#post3919009

Checked my awning brackets today and they are all tight. However, you have added another item to check. Thanks for passing the word to keep an eye on.
