i'd go with the tent waterproof option then if theres no obvious solution.
not sure if those 'cleaning' products that XD posts are waterproofing, or just anti-dirt - maybe drop him (or one of the other detailers) a PM to see if they can recommend something...

I'd definitely give it a go with Raggtopp or Renovo. It ought to be annual maintenance on any rag.
MX-5 hoods used to shrink, exposing too much of the rubbers - only solution was a new roof.
But treat those rubbers with Holt's rubber stuff anyway.

I gave the hood a bit of TLC in Nov. Lets face it, the old ball and chain wouldnt do it herself! I have heard others mention Renovo so maybe thats the way to go. Cheers.
Still, why have a dog and bark yourself!

Ahem, some of us female types manage to treat our own hoods yearly!
