Somewhat related to LarkingAround's "People do strange things" thread.
This is the "Putty" that is in the rain gutter of my '61 Lark. From some of the responses, I'm wondering if this is factory applied material. If so, I can understand someone trying to smooth it out and fill in the gaps with more filler to prevent water from being trapped in the cracks and gaps. It is very hard and cracked, as shown, with some material missing. Should this material be entirely removed, then replaced, or what? I don't think there is any rust under it, as there is really no rust anywhere on the vehicle.
