Hey guys,
I have a 94 F150 that has a water leak. I had the gasket on the back window replaced but it's not leaking there . Turns out, the body seam on the back corners of the cab,one of which the sealant has cracked allowing water to get in the cab. I need to re-fill the seam but I do not want to remove the existing sealer and paint to do so. I was thinking of running tape along each side of the seam and and then filling the seam with the sealer, and wipe away the excess. Then remove the tape and touch up paint as needed.

What type sealer should I use??

Do you think it will work over the paint??

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Carl

 

i would just use a fiber glass body filler over the grove then paint the filler. it'll repel water and it won't crack

 

Actually, I'd use a seam sealer. It's alot easier to work with for getting into the little cracks and is more of a liquid form. Also doesn't dry as quick so you can work it in better. Just make sure to tape off the area real well because once you start working it in, the rest will get onto areas you may not want to fix.
