I had a leak somewhere on my hitop so I am starting checks all round the hitop roof , I need to locate the fastening bolts as there seems to be movement/play in the side walls on the roof ,however I don't want to remove the headling if possible , also which sealant should I use around the body to roof joint and does it need to be sealed right down the length of the hitop i.e. into the guttering ?

Sikaflex as it's a very strong adhesive sealant and flexible. If you get any on the paintwork anywhere else rub it off with thinners, brake cleaner or similar as it's a bitch to get off when dry.

Thanks Jake , I assume can be over painted , and do I run it around guttering or not needed ?

Whilst rubbing down the hitop I see an area of previous damage that has been repaired but considerable cracking , as the cracks are not severe enough to fill
I am wondering weather I should treat it with a flexible coat of some kind or just a thin smear of filler ?
advise greatly appreciated .
