This has got to be one of the worst jobs there is :Sad:
This is how it was a year ago and it only got worse so time to bite the bullet and sort it.
I kept putting it off because it is so difficult to access and damn awkward
First I cleaned everything with resin polish and pulled out all the loose sealant before cleaning the area to be applied with Sika 205 cleaner Aktivator
Then I applied a generous bead of Sika 221 and removed the excess with a spare nozzle that I'd cut to a profile with point each side. The points left two grooves in the sealant which would make it easier to remove any sealer outside of the points once set.
Here cleaning up next day
The existing sealant that was still sound I left in place and just feathered the new stuff into it
Overall not perfection but I'm pleased with my efforts
