I’ve had one of these in place for 10 years

It was dripping inside along this rafter (marked in red):

I had a look at the rubber seal and they seem fine but noticed that there is a slight gap at the top of the rafter here. There also seems to be some residue:

I can see this residue on other joins too:

Why type of sealant/adhesive is this likely to be and does it need to be resealed after 10 years?

I’d appreciate your advice on this.
