Whatever was used to seal our skylight around the edge separated from the rubber roof. It looks rubbery but more like self-leveling sealant. I am going to pull the skylight up and clean up the surface and was thinking about re- attaching it with 100 % pure silicone to the roof, or is there something better to use.

I would use a good dose of Dicor. It is available on Amazon or almost any RV store.

Only use Dicor on the roof. I wouldn't use Silicone.

I have read that silicone will not stick to a rubber roof. I would say use the Dicor.

Count me in on the Dicor recommendation. We had a leak that showed up when we had our coach washed, and the only place I could see where it might have leaked in was at the various vents and false vents on the roof. Put Dicor around all of them and haven't seen a leak since, even with a downpour of rain.

I prefer EternaBond; especially, for the skylight fix. It's a tape so it isn't messy and can be used without taking the skylight off. Also good to seal front or back end caps. The same application has been around my skylight for 5 years and still working. Downside is that It Ain't Cheap.
