Roof leak on 2000 Jayco 12LSO

We just took our pop-up out for the 2nd time.  This trip was to Ventura, CA.  It didn't rain but lots of condensation from the marine climate.

I had water leaking down through the center strip on the interior ceiling.  This is the plastic strip which holds the wiring for the ceiling lights.  Anyway, I believe it must be the center seam on the roof that's leaking,  I did notice that a little water was pooling between the center seam and the A/C unit.

I've read other posts in here on similar problems but would like any other input.  The caulking does look kind of cracked and showing age from lots of sun I presume.

Can I try to get some silicone sealant from Lowe's and run it along the aluminum strip or do I need to take the strip off, scrape off the old caulking before I put on new caulk?  Doesn't sound fun...  I'd like to get away with adding new silicone over the old if possible.

Thx!
