Cracking sealant in seams

Post by bundoodle »

Hi

Could anyone advise on the best thing to repair cracks in seam sealant?

There does not appear to be any rust issues at the moment so just want to get on top of it to stop this happening.

I noticed the other day that a few of my seams are cracking so shall keep an eye on this (the topic... and the seams) :ok

I guess it could be cracked paint though. Will have to check in a bit.
