I have used "exterior" silicone for years. Black, white and clear. It's just a bitch to remove when it needs to be redone. Anybody know of an easy way to remove it?

Huh? Lap sealant is for roof seams, bolts and penetrations. I answered your question for what is actually used, after installing with butyl tape. Many manufacturers add clear silicone around the upper perimeters
