Hi Ron,
As long as you are in any way proficient in DIY, you can fix this :)
Take a look at the fixed it club members work in the 'sticky' post at the top of this page or here: FIXED IT CLUB

Any questions as you go, just ask. If it just needs resealing its pretty straight forward

Quick bodge that works is clean any dodgy looking seam with meths then run a bead of polyurethane sealant over it & press & smooth down with finger. Not pretty but it works. Use only polyurethane sealant brand names such as PU18, Sikaflex512 or Tigerseal etc. Choose a warm dry morning to do the work. Goes off in a couple of hrs.
