Not sure what you mean - why would you have a mastic seal between the roof and the gutter? It's going to break every time you lift the roof? The pop-top should simply rest on the roof when it's closed. Most leaks in pop-tops come around the roof vent, so check that first. When the water comes in, where does it land (on the floor)?

the t25 is an autosleeper,
the roof surround and pop top is fibre glass,
the pop top fits upon the roof surround,
the surround fit upon the metal body,the join hidden by the gutter.
its a common fitment on t25s.
