I have the same cracks on my roof as well, and it still leaks despite all the other things I've tried.
Does anyone know where you can pick up Liquid Nails Clear Small Projects Silicone Adhesive in the UK? What have you used Paul?

I have taken the roof apart trying to get to the bottom of this! aahh. Everything I can see is sealed, no way for water to get in etc.
I "think" that water is soaking through the roof, by the edges where the stitching is. Over time, the roof must harden and the stitch holes get more porous (or bigger) and water soaks through these. Maybe moreso where there are cracks (as a result of the roof material hardening etc.).
Anyone any products that I should use to seal all the stitching? Some invisible glue/sealant of some sort that I can run through the length of the stitching.

I had the common issue of water collecting in the rails, then dripping/pouring off when I go to drive away.
I couldn't figure out how water could collect there with my car just parked. I came to the conclusion that it could only have been working its way though the canvas. Therefore, I treated with Autoglym fabric roof product and the car has been bone dry inside ever since. Even through these mega heavy storms that we've been having over recently weeks.
