Use a heat gun to remove the old seam sealer caulk. Final cleaning with a 10,000 rpm small diameter wire wheel works great on your air grinder. I use an etching primer under the new 2-part epoxy seam sealer. Or you can use the old GM seam caulk but the newer flexible epoxy seems more durable.

I agree wholeheartedly. If you want a nice job get the regular 2-part for the back, after it sets use the self leveling 2-part on the sides and front. Just be careful with temperature it can set real fast!!! These come in a single tube w/miver nozzle or twin cartridge depending on your caulking gun.

Thanks for the different options to handle the drip raills. I want that clean channelled look. So I want to use as less sealer as possible.
