After all the heavy rains we had yesterday, I discovered I had leakage from the roof that needs revealing. I think a significant amount is coming from the upper side rails as the previous owner had tried using a fair amount of silicone applied to the outside of the rail/roof rail. Though I know it's a major job to remove the rails, I think it's the appropriate way to solve these leaks.
Any suggestions as to what the best sealant would be? I'm tempted to use the black butyl ribbon type of sealant that is used to mount windows, but any previous experiences are appreciated.
