They were areas where it looks like someone applied a bead of sealant/glue
and a gap was left in the sealant. Guess my only real concern is that the
bags did not leak for the previous 8,000 miles or 5 months then something
changed that, possibly our first exposure to cold weather going up Pikes
Peak or over some of the northern passes. I sealed it last night using a
silicone gasket material in preparation for the trip this week. I'll keep an
eye on it and post any changes.
