Hoping to cure the wet knee syndrome in the 90 as it has quite a few cracks in the gutter seal, some about 2" long but very thin. Rain gets into the inner gutter and I get soaked the first time I put the brakes on.
Do I just try and seal them or am I best to dig the old seal out and replace with Sikaflex - cue K9F 
I have also got to do the join over the roof where the previous little old lady owner kept going under height barriers which were to low. I think that getting rid of the old seal and putting a new seal in is probably going to be best, do it once do it properly, but any advice appreciated 
I have fitted new door seals and sorted the alpine windows out so the gutter and roof join are the last two areas to be done.

A few posts here ( www.defender2.net/forum/topic15827-15.html ) may be worth a read about the gutter sealing.... An engine to TDi for!

Thanks GUM
Saw that one but to be honest I have never got on with Captain Tolley's hence the reason why I am looking at digging the old mastic out and replacing it. I did force some Dum Dum into some of the cracks as per other posts, it helped but as there are so many of the little devils I thought a proper job would be easier ?

Hi,
A friend has used Captain Tolleys Creaping Crack Cure on an old caravan with great success http://www.captaintolley.com/ I reckon I would give it a go if I needed to stop a leak. Steve |

Thanks Steve (BPMAN version)
I saw your post about the gutter over the rear door. Can't see any problem there but having said that I have only just found a three inch crack between the roof and gutter by the drivers door 
Thanks the other Steve, maybe I should get some CT's and try again, at least it will be quicker than digging the old seal out. If it solves the problem then I could do a proper reseal when the better weather arrives, 202.....

I used Sikaflex on the seams and in the gutters before I painted the roof last year.

Thanks Vincent
Did you remove the old mastic from the gutter before putting the Sikaflex in or did you put it over the old stuff ?
