Thanks so much for your advice,I appreciate it. got most of the old putty of everything yesterday. Got a few things to do today and going to check out a product called restore it, that my roofer buddy found at the roofing store. Should be able to start buttoning everything up sun-wed.

I have the gel coat sides on my trailer. Does anybody have any idea what kind of caulk is holding the sides on? It's really stretchy and basically a bead is ran down each stud and the gel coat is pressed od and stapled at the top. Just trying to find out what the stuff is.

well, not sure on yours, I was told at the factory on all the newer ones they used special industrial strength double sided 3m tape. I couldn't believe they use tape. The old WW manager that told me, said it works great, and they never had problems with it coming off.
IDK, you asked...

Thanks for the response. Nothing would surprise me about how they put these things together. Well I can tell you that whatever it is was very pliable and stretchy when I peeled the side back and the front section,but now it is hard. I had one person tell me to use a urethane adhesive. Spent most of today wire brushing rotten wood and getting alot of the wood particles off of the TPO. I ordered a bunch of 3m 4000uv caulking today,man that stuff is not cheap. It was $22 per tube at west marine,I managed to find online for 12.99 and no sales tax.
