Looks like some work has been done on your roof ditch. That seam sealer has doesn't look original. Keep an eye on it because rust can begin underneath it if it wasn't flowed properly. I had pin hole leaks in mine. I had to grind it all out and re-flow it. Once I started to remove it I found that the original factory sealer had begun to fail in spots and was starting to rust underneath.

@Oldguyfl hasn't been around in a while (since last July)...probably because he's playing with different toys these days. Apparently he saw a ghost on a road recently....

Here's my solution

Mine was leaking and after 15 yrs of being left out in the south florida sun

it had severe sun burn. When I had the truck repainted I had him put truck bedliner on the roof.

Here are some pictures of my Ex's roof before and after repairs.

After grinding out sealer in the roof ditch. Notice the corrosion that was hidden by the failed sealer

After cleanup and starting prep for epoxy primer and filler.

Finished
This is close to what the flowed in sealer looked like from the factory.
