Caulk over a leaking J-channel isn’t a fix. It’s a delay.
Water doesn’t care what’s on the surface — it finds its way underneath regardless. The only real solution is to remove the temporary patch, lift the siding, and install kick-out flashing properly behind the step flashing.
No shortcuts. No cover-ups. Do it right the first time and you never have to do it again. 🛠️
