Question

I have a Lotus Elise and I have read on the website that you can get Fabrasil Water repellant to apply on the roof to stop it leaking as much !!! Does anyone know where I can get some because I have never heard of it before ??????? or anything else to stop it leaking as much !!!

What's the hood made of?

You could try an outdoor pursuits shop for something like Nikwax who do a spray on product for tents, rucksacs and the like.

HTH,

Chris.

It is made out of the usual convertible roof material. I suppose an Outdoor pursuits shop would work but I thought that somewhere like Halfords would have it ???!!!

Fabrasil is mentioned on this site iunder the sub category leaks. I got my Elise last November and love it even though I have spent an absolute fotune on it. Tracker, exhaust, mats, de-cat, 'C' Service etc etc etc.

P.S How do you get the faces on the text and how do you get internet addresses so that you can just click on them ?

Fabsil is used on tents to help prevent leaks, paying particular attention to the seam areas. You can get it in a large spray can from Outdoor Pursuit shops.

Works quite well (on tents!)

Searching on the web I found no mention of the Fabrasil product which is mentioned on www.elises.co.uk as a possible solution to leaks

I did find the following product which may be of interest

A good way to learn is to click edit message on a post with the smilie or link style you want then you can see how it was done
