I have just won the war on leaks in Olga and like to give some comments
Any sealing/chaulking has to be done from the outside! Tryiong to chaulk from the inside will just move the problem
Main problem aereas are the rear end of the gutter
Window seals ( these are all leaking after 40 years and easy to replace) Note the rearside seal of the rear windows. water from the gutter is running down this window ( a lot of water)
(co)driver windows, now they are a dragg. Take them out ( easy) there are spots in the framing where alu and firbreglass meet in my coach there was a big gap that could not be sealed. close the gap before resealing
Water was coming through the glass-seals , they were dryed out- replaced the seals
Check the spots shown in the pictures you have linked to They are bad
good luck

Appie,
A common procedure performed on GMC's is to remove the entire rain gutter, clean it, and scrape out as much of the sealant that is
under it on the coach and reseal it completely using modern sealants. Here's a link to a presentation given by GaryW the Coos Bay
Rally: http://gmcws.org/blog/?p=1827
I scanned your album but couldn't find if you did that or not hence my comment.
Regards,

Rob, when I click on that link it takes me to the WS web site link to the presentation but when I click on the presentation nothing happens. Do you have to be a member to view it?
