Well, I removed the rain gutter today, cleaned everything, and took it to the welder to get a few rust spots repaired.
I have been reading threads about resealing. My plan is to buy new rivets from CCOT. CCOT and others recommend using 3m fast and firm sealant. to reseal. I have also read about others using a self leveling sealant around the rivets after it is put back together.
After reading, here is my plan. Everything is going to be completely cleaned and painted. I was going to use 3M fast and firm to seal the gutter to the top, around the edges. As I put in the rivets, I was going to put some sealant in each hole. That looks like the way it was done in the factory. The 3m product doesnt have a lot of working time, so I think I want to do it in stages. Of course, final painting after all this.
Another option was to use the 3Mproduct putting on the rain gutter, then follow up with the self leveling sealer after installing the rivets.
I have a way of really messing up these type of projects, so I wanted to ask before I started buying stuff.
Thinking of going with the CCOT headliner also.....any comments on it?
Many thanks.
