This is what I use for sealing the coach, have had it on the roof front section to center section main seam for 3 years now and is still in perfect condition.

It rained here today so I've found the leak I was told about. I think
it's where the seam between the last rear section of roof meets the one
in front of it.
Which sealant should I use to try to close this up?

Rob,
All thou this had great reviews at first, people that have used this
have had the paint peel off of the sealed area after a few years. The
Dupont seam sealer is available at most Auto paint suppliers and in
the same size tube as the PL product and also in smaller size.

I have been told that the 3M sealant is the right way to go as well. Bruce Tara, I believe used it.

What's the minimum width of bead you could get away with?
My coach's PO used the maximum width (in white on a tan coach) but the seams don't leak.

I use ProFlex RV. It has worked good but is messy. It has stopped my leaks ..well for now it is a GMC. I use to use PlL Polyurethane like was listed below until my RV service said they had better results with ProFlexRV.

Thanks, Art.
I will catalog that number and use it if I have future need. I have also used the P/L polyurethane in the past and it seems to hold up well but I'll give the other a try.
