   Yep, ya gotta remove ALL the old caulk and get it sparkling clean.  There are a couple of brands of caulk remover that will help a little, but still it's mostly hard work.

   But if you do the job right, use good quality caulk, and keep it clean to prevent mildew, then the caulk job can easily last ten years.

   Naw.

   Just pull off what is loose. Spray it down with 409. Wipe it off. And apply about a quarter of a caulk gun tube per 3 inches, linear.

   Smooth that out as well as you can. Let it cure for three weeks. And there you go ! Should be good for at least 10 days !!!

   Ten days, you say?  I'll bet you can get it down to five if you use WD-40.
