Waterproofing Hoods

[jonknight]

My poor old hood's looking a bit sorry at the moment. It seems to have lost it's waterproofing... I'm probably going to have to replace it soon, but in the meantime, can anyone recommend a good fabric sealant / restorer to tide me over? Thanks!

I went to my local caravan and camping place and got a liter of Fablon Fabric proofer, used on tents and awnings. I gave my roof 2 coats and the water is still beading on the roof 12 months later, and I have still got 75% left. The only problem with this is that water pools on your roof, so when you get into your car, go round that first left hand corner at the bottom of the street and you have your window onpen slightly, you get pi**ed wet through. Good stuff though and was not expensive. It did re-darken the fabric slightly too !!!
