Roof sealant melting ?

I have a 2020 rpod 195. The sealant seems to be melting behind the awning. I live in South Florida. I know it's hot but this doesn't seem normal. I'm a little concerned it is roof sealant. Any help would be appreciated. I've never used any sealant on the roof since new.

I would pull in the awning and get on a ladder (or the roof) and look at that section topside. Verify you don't have any exposed seams, etc.
I can't speak to how real heat effects dicor because I live in Minnesota

Have never seen dicor do that . Maybe they used a cheap alternate sealant.

I will get up there and take a look.
Thanks. Another question. Pardon my ignorance but does anyone know what type of roof this has? Epdm? Was going to get some Dicor but sure if it's right for this roof. Thanks again.
