I have a leak on my 90 and I think it is from the rainwater channel, It leaks into the inside channel in the roof and as I go down hill water comes out of the roof and runs down the inside of the drivers door.
The mastic in the rainwater channel has fine crazing and so I spread some silicone sealant which stopped it for a time but then the silicone started to come away and it leaked again.
My question is, is there a good way of removing the old mastic and then replace it with {what }
Any suggestions,
Steve.
 
With mine it comes in the front end somewhere and drips onto my accelerator foot.
Is all part of the charm... ahem... :D
 
Clean/ scrape away any remaining silicone and dirt. Get some panel sealant, a mastic gun and away you go. Any motor factors will sell it. Tiger seal is good .

Silicone sealant never lasts long outdoors.
I would try rubbing down the channel with something like a small, brass wire brush. Get shot of all the silicone, then I would apply seam sealer down the channel using a spreader the width of the channel.
