Roo leaking corners

Going to re-caulk the 8 corners of the beds on my 2015 Roo 19. Would like to know what caulk you use.* Also, should I remove the cracked caulk that would be hard to reach or just caulk over them?

Anyone know of the name of the replacement number of the rubber bed gaskets? Steele Rubber Products would have it, I assume. Thanks in advance for your help.Click image for larger version

FR customer service can get you the part number. Also, the new seals are one piece all around.

That looks like clear silicone to me, brl1956. Silicone is a little easier to work with, has a little 'give' to it and remains flexible so is vibration resistant (and the clear means you can use it everywhere and not worry about it blending in), but I've found it doesn't last as long as a good caulk sealant. You definitely want to remove all silicone before you go back over that joint, no matter what you decide to use.

I'd be more interested in WHY that joint spread and the seal failed. Looks like something jammed or caught on that cover and moved it a little.
