Because the blackening of the joint is basically a cosmetic issue, I have been using Wet & Forget for many years with good results. Spraying it on the joint kills the mildew and the black color goes away. It is very safe and non-toxic and does what it claims to do. It is a great product for getting rid of mold and mildew.

I used geocell on my 2003, 341 and it's held up really well. I did it about six years ago and it still looks good. I bought it from Screwfix.

That’s good to know! Geocel it is. Any other tips from when you did this job?

Remove as much of the old sealant as you possibly can and make sure its super clean before applying new sealant. I spent a lot more time preparing than I did actually applying the sealant
