    roof gutter sealant?

    get rid of the old sealant as clean as you possibly can. i'd probably pick it out best as you can then gently wire wheel the residuals to clean it up. then prime it, automotive seam sealer, n a coat of paint. here's the legal part: i'm not a body man :hillbilly: just an ol' fawk that fumbly...
