Was the gap that you noticed a separation of the hard rubber bead that you are holding up? Was it a pain to peal up the rest to reveal the screws? And what did you use to reseal that bead to the fiberglass cap? Thanks in advance.

Yes the black seal separated due to screws breaking. I used longer screws and sealed with proflex sealer.
