I think I may try to just reseal the parts I stripped....I should probably do the whole thing, but it IS holding water now so I'll try the easier method.
I've been in construction since i was 8 years old (family business played more than worked at 8 years old on the job lol), anyhow the general rule when recaulking or reglueing something is to remove ALL the old caulk and go completely new. The reason being is you don't know what has been on the caulk may be something that will mess with the bond, and also the new caulk will only be as strong as the layer under it. If it was me, I would spend a bit more time and redo it all, but then again that's just my opinion and we all know everyone has their, and they all stink kinda like....bleepholes lol
