Body to cab sealant.

[Cowpat]

Hi all we have a 2015 Autotrail apache 700 and I’m doing a few jobs getting ready for our first trip abroad next week. I’ve noticed a few small gaps in the sealant where the body joins the cab to the rear door shuts. Does anybody know if this is silkaflex, or what it is. I thought it was a rubber trim at first as this is what it feels like. Where the decals meet halfway down the door the sealant becomes white to match them.
Any advice on what to use to seal the gaps would much appreciated
Thanks

looks like maybe Sikaflex 221 or possibly Tiger seal, someone with more knowledge will be along soon to give you the correct information, it will get sorted its not a big job, some these sealants are expensive but worth it as you will only have to do it once

Thanks for that I’ve got some sikaflex 522 but it’s white. We’re off next Monday so hopefully repair them before we go but want to use the right stuff
