My trailer arrived with two soft solar chargers attached to the roof top via a sort of caulk/goop. Two years later the trailer is leaking under the solar panels. Looking for a recommendation for a goop or caulk that is white or clear, and can withstand the sun and heat of the Western USA flying spots?


Sikaflex 295 is a UV resistant sealant/adhesive

3M makes one too, called 4000 UV

Loctite has their own version cleverly named Marine Sealant

If you use a paintable formula like the first two you can also put a UV protective topcoat over the sealant which would extend its exposure limit.
