Hi all,
During last nights and todays heavy down pour i've noticed water "seaping" through the edges of the roof at both sides and also these have remained damp whilst the middle of the roof is now dry.
Can anyone recommend a good product to reseal the roof.
There are no rips or tears anywhere and otherwise the roof is in good condition.
thanks.

The autoglym stuff does the job.
but for the TOP of the range stuff, go for Renevo. Supposed to be the best for hoods.

Nah, just a protective/waterpfoofing spray. I used the Autoglym cleaner first.
