the correct fix for this is to remove some of the OE seam sealer (wherever and everywhere its cracked)with either a knife or a cutoff wheel to widen the crack, at which point you get some 3M "seam sealer" and re-apply as the factory did..this will perminantly fix the problem for another 20 years

Hi, when you mentioned removing the OE seam sealer, would that be in the gutter where the removable rubber drip molding sits on the edges of the roof outside?
