I'm guessing you are asking about the seams where a rubber roof membrane meet a vent or air conditioner or the like. Many people recommend laying a strip of Eternabond over the seam, after cleaning the area with acetone. Once Eternabond is stuck, it is stuck. It will stick well to old sealants that have been cleaned; it should come with application instructions. Here's a link to Eternabond http://tweetys.com/eternabond-roofse...ape-4-x50.aspx; it can be bought many places.

Here is a youtube demonstration on roof repairing. Maybe that will help.

I fully agree with this post. I have used it and found it works as directed. I found it quite expensive in my local supply houses but have seen it going on E-bay for a reasonable price.
