Seal Drip Rail Gutters on 30 Coupe

[Bill in SoCal]

The pictures are of the drip rails on my 30 coupe. They are welded on and I am not going to remove them. I can straighten the gutter and push it back but there will still be a gap. What should I use to seal the gaps between the roof and the gutters (shown In the pictures)?

You could try "Seaming Compound". It's the stuff used to seal panels that have been spot-welded together (seams in trunks, etc.). You can prime and paint it just fine. I have some in a quart can that I bought long ago from an automotive paint supplier. I think you can also get it in a tube for a caulking gun. I think that Eastwood also has it.

Silicone would work just fine. Can be painted also. Give it 24 hours to set up.

Bruce's idea sounds good ..
We use this seam sealer

Silicone promotes rust, as I learned from a windshield installer. Use what Mitch shows.

Mitch and Tom are giving good advise. Some silicone is not paintable.
