Sealant for front panel

I noticed that the sealant where the front metal panel meets the fiberglass has cracked. What sealant have people used that is good for this application and also sealing around lights, etc. I have dicor "caulking" but most people seem to use that for roofs. Thanks.

At Zion right now. Temperature in the 60's. The campground is about empty. Will take a trip every year during this time. Park is also pretty empty!

I use ISO Quad, you can get it at most big home do it store.

It is sticky stuff, and does not act like normal caulk. Cut the tip really small. I like to use blue painter tape where I do not war the stuff. I apply just a little, less than needed, then use a wetted down finger. I put a bunch of dishsoap in the water solution.

As Jagiven said use OSI Quad sealant, this is what Jayco told me they use, Home Depot sells it in the paint dept.

Or Geocel Proflex. Clear, white, black, whatever color you need. The crap will dry when wet or cold. I smooth the joints with mineral spirits. Similar to the quad stuff. I’ve used Geocel for at least 12 years. Good stuff.
