Leaking Westfalia JK Roof Canvas ...

Discussion in 'General Discussion' started by DaisyMae, May 30, 2013.

  1. It looks like we will have to replace our JK westy roof canvas as it leaks around the zip for the front opening :(

    It's done it a few times when it's raining heavily but this time it wasn't heavy rain ... more persistent drizzle.

    Anyone recommend what we should get? It's frustrating as was only purchased & installed Spring 2010 and I would expect it to last longer :(
     
  2. Have you tried spray the canvas with nikwax or a tent waterproofer? It may help by ridding the canvas of water quicker
     
  3. It seems to come through the seam / stitching :( It then puddles in the 'gutter' channel that runs along the inside top edge before over flowing and dripping onto the cooker top ... got annoying over night so sat the towel there to soak it up!

    Need to investigate properly when we aren't camping!
