Hello,
I need to stop water ingress into this corner of the Eaves, I have checked and the water is coming from this corner only during Alfred Storm.
Any ideas how I can fix this.
Hi @JustinMcAbbe,
Is it possible to get some photos from further back showing a bit more context of where this is?
To me, it looks like a metal flashing underneath a window, so if you are seeing water here, it is not really a problem because it is draining from behind the window frame, onto this flashing, where it will dry out.
I may be wrong because I don't have the full picture, but if you are seeing water here, I wouldn't really be concerned.
If, however, the water is getting in through the crack shown in picture 3, then you could clean it up a bit using a paint scraper, then apply some No More Gaps Exterior Gap Filler, then paint over it.
I'll wait for your response and then assist further if required.

Some more photos for context
Hello @JustinMcAbbe
Thanks for sharing the extra photos of your eaves. If the water is passing through the back of your cladding, I suggest following @JacobZ's recommendation of cleaning the gap with a scraper and filling it in with No More Gaps Exterior Gap Filler, then paint over it. This should stop rainwater from bridging inside the wall and cladding.
