I just bought a 1976 FJ40 that is in really great shape. Most of the weather stripping has been replaced, including the seal under the top. I noticed after washing the truck that the roof liner was wet around the inside edges. I then noticed the water stains on the ceiling pad, so I know its been leaking for a while. I believe that the water is coming in where the fiberglass seals to the metal rain gutter.
I've seen a couple of posts in other forums, but I thought I'd ask here if anyone has my particular problem. I am not sure how the top attaches to the gutter. Visual inspection looks pretty clean, with a few small cracks. Maybe a rivet hole is the culpret?
Would anyone suggest removing the top and resealing the entire thing? Or can I get away with applying a sealant in the gutter? I do not want to fill the gutter so that it no longer functions.
Other sugestions? Thanks!
