So French rain is wetter than British. I need to reproof the hood... water came through all the seems plus a few drops straight through the fabric.
Thinking of nikwax type products. ... any recommendations?

I use Renovo, works well for me. Renovo's mohair roof potion certainly works on my mohair hood so I'm guessing their vinyl hood product will be equally as good

That's what I used on the first 4/4 and +4. Have no idea whether the present "neverflex" roof leaks... But, it is a Morgan...

In the old days we used to rub candle wax into the seams, seemed to work well. I'd visit a local camping shop and see what they suggest. I don't know if Renovo's ultra roofer works on seams?? No doubt someone on here will know!

I used Nikwax on Bumble and it seemed to work.

I use Renovo and no leakage in austrian rain, which is also very wet 😁
Best regards from Austria

I can only recommend Auto Glym's green Bumper & Trim Gel to make your Everflex hood look as new. I use it enthusiastically on my 20 year old 4/4.

A Auto Upholsterer told Me that My Everflex Hood was simply worn out. He pointed out a shiny area in the hood. "If I ran My sewing machine threw this shiny area it would shatter like glass". The Hood was built by HofE in 1999 so it is almost 20 years old. As I store the Hood in back on top of the gas (petrol) tank I thought the shiny spot was caused by fuel being spilled. +4-4STR
