Waterproofing Pop Top

Post by Elli »

Woke up in my Westy this morning after a rainy night and the pop top canvas was wet on the inside. It also kept dripping water on the way home.
I was thinking if Silicone spray would do the trick and "waterproof" the canvas? Pros, cons?

If it is the fabric leaking use Fabsil available from any camping shop and most hardware stores.
