Coleman Lantern Water Leakage

[JonMulder]

I have 2018 Coleman Lantern. It appears water is leaking in at the seams between the roof and front panel.
The attached photos show that the sealant has cracked.
What is the best way to fix this?

Thanks,
Jon Mulder

There should be a vinal cover over the channel with the loose screw .

Have you had this RV since new ?

It appears that the sealant across the roof is a clear silicone and if so; it's the wrong sealant .
JMHO: Dicor self leveling sealant would have been the correct product.

If the product is silicone, it would have to be completely removed in order to apply the correct product.

I would scrape/cut off as much as the old cauking as possible to get a clean surface.Wipe surfaces with denatured alcohol then use Dicor self leveling sealant where the roof material meets the aluminum.
Then do what Skip suggested for the channel.

Appling the Dicor on a warm day makes it flow better.

Thanks!
I'll get a 4 pack of the Dicor.
Regarding the vinyl cover, my son in law found them in 7/8" and 1" width. Do you know what width I should order?

Thanks. Do you have a link as to where I can order the vinyl channel cover?

I got some from Amazon in October due to hail damage.
RV parts suppliers frequently carry it.
Measure your channel to figure out what size.
