The black polyurethane caulking that sealed the fan to the roof was turning gray and had some small dry cracks.
Ripped off the gasket and I found the silicon adhesive that was left over.
It was a pain to remove. I didn't remove it entirely. I used a razor blade to clean off whatever I could.

Old gasket on top.
New gasket on bottom.
You can hardly see it, but the shiny part of the gasket end is actually the silicon liquid soaked into the foam. I wonder how long this is going to last before it dries out completely. I added adhesive through the channel of foam before mounting it.
