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.
Cheers

Re: Cracking sealant in seams
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)
I guess it could be cracked paint though. Will have to check in a bit.
