Most likely the original sealant is/was butyl tape. Depending on the age of your RV the entire length may require re-sealing. When you pull the end loose, the seal may be compromised for several inches further back from your working area. Butyl tape has been used successfully for many years in the RV industry. If you choose not to replace the entire sealant length, using Dicor sealant above the drip rail should be considered.
