Curing Leaking Plastic Gutter Joints

[LDoubtfire]

Every single one of my plastic gutter joints leak.
They are Marley and were put up in 1967 when
My bungalow was built.I`m concerned that removing
That plastic `strap`that holds the joint together will
Snap if I tried to put new rubber inserts or whatever
To cure the leaking and drips.
Is there some kind of sealer / adhesive that will cure
Things without having to disturb the joint fittings?
Thanks in advance for replies.

Plenty of cheap gutter sealant that will do the job for a weather ''season'' be it winter or summer.

Your better of going to your local plastics centre and buying new gutter parts and replacing the problem parts with new IMHO.

The parts dont cost alot. Plus it'll see you right for years instead of a cheap cowboy fix.

Trouble with using sealant is during contracting and expanding due to heat and cooling, this will break the seal and leak.

Replace the seals or fittings is the best way in your case.
