Pop Top Leaking from Vent Stiching

[Cau03208]

Hi Everyone, just back from a weekend in Arran and it was beautiful but wet!

Our pop top clearly needs reproofed, but I’ve noticed that there was also water coming through the tape on the inner side of the air vents in the pop top. The tape is stitched in so can’t be replaced.

Any suggestions how to stop water coming through the stitching?

Thanks!

This STUFF is brilliant, designed to seal stitching and hems in waders subject to full immersion, it's been my goto for years.

Mask it off and then a fine smear of good quality clear silicone sealant, making sure to rub it in well with your finger to get it into the stiching.

Sorry I have to ask, is this for real!?!

I haven’t used this on a poptop but it works brilliantly on tents and cabriolet roofs.
