   You might want to pull the middle strip out of the black edge molding, and check the screws joining the roof to the wall. Some have been known to be loose and/or missing, and the roof and wall can start separating.

	T-Squared, I'm not sure what is "best," but here are two options: -- Dicor 502-LSW Self-Leveling Lap Sealant. Good for horizontal surfaces, very much like the stuff used to seal roof penetrations. This flows a bit, so if the hole is vertical, maybe not a good choice. Available on Amazon. -- Geocel 28100V Pro Flex Crystal Clear RV Flexible Sealant. All around good stuff, again available on Amazon. Check to make sure it is compatible with the surface.

	Hi Everyone, I purchased a 2017.5 179 in March and so far have loved the trailer. This forum has been an amazing help in getting me familiar with my pod and also giving me a laundry list of pod mods. Last night I picked up the trailer from storage and noticed that the caulking on the outside wall was pulling away from the joint near the front of the trailer where the wall meets the roof panel. Anybody know what the best stuff is to fix this and where I can get it? (I'm in Alberta Canada) We are supposed to get some rain today so I scraped off the old caulking and cleaned up the joint and put some outdoor silicone on it as a temporary fix. Hopefully that didn't make it worse.
