[TRAIL TAILOR]

Get a "stringer bead" wire wheel 4.5" or 7" Clean it out the old, wipe down with a wax/grease remover and lay in sealer.

I use 3M Dynatron

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 just an ol' fawk that fumbly fawks his way thru $h!t

What are you using to get into the narrow gutter space on the A pillars? Same stuff with a narrow tip or something with a lower viscosity that can flow down them easier?

That's it. Just clip the tip with a smaller hole first, run the A's and then clip a little larger and run the gutters. It's a DTM product as well, so don't need to primer if you burn through the paint/primer on prep, just don't leave any bare metal untreated outside the sealant area.

The "stinger bead" wheel is very narrow in comparison to other wheels and doesn't "fan out" like the other wheels. So easier to keep the work area to a tight and concentrated line/path.

Rain Gutter seam and drip rail reseal

Here's how I did it. Old stuff was chipped out with a flathead screwdriver and mallet, then the rails were wire wheeled clean with a dremel. I treated them all with rust converter, then laid down 2 coats of epoxy primer. I used 3M self leveling seam sealer which has a work time of only 8 minutes...

I had been planning on re-sealing the gutters and drip rail someday as some areas were cracked and causing light rust on the underside painted area of the gutter near the doors. One day a couple weeks ago, I was walking by my truck and got curious and started picking at the original seam...

Rain Gutter Sealant...E6000 Self-Leveling?

Hey all, Re-sealing the rain gutters on my 60 series this weekend. I've already used a heat gun/chisel/picks to get the old sealant out, and coated the gutters with primer and paint. I tried unsucessfully to use 3M 5200 on them but it turned into a goopy mess, so I'm starting over. I was...

I used a pneumatic die grinder with a thin scotch brite pad. First double tape the paint on either side of the gutter to minimize any chance of scuffing the paint if your tool gets outside the margins. wear a mask or respirator as this method creates some unhealthy dust. Then I fill with 3M heavy drip check. It is designed for automotive roof drip rails. Not self leveling so it won't run. And works on vertical seams.

I used 3M 08307 Self-Leveling Seam Sealer in mine when I did my rust repair and such. Worked great and laid down really easily. I used ~1.5 tubes
