Renovo three pack method did a great job on mine. Full instructions in the kit.

Autoglym worked well on mine.

Dead easy to apply just needs a day to fully dry. (good luck with that unless you have a garage at the moment!)

BAS Fabric hood cleaning and Reproofing kit for mine.

No water comes in from roof and had a new rear screen fitted 3 months ago so no water coming from there (Parcel shelf bone dry).

But I've noticed damp carpets under the seats,fronts are dry so any ideas what's causing that i'm all ears.

I have the same, I have been told it is water getting in around the velcro strips, or possibly the rubber hood seal, and running down by the seat belts.

I did have this as well before I used the Autoglym. Before, I could feel that the carpets behind the top of the seatbelts (near your shoulder) were wet. One application and all gone.

Thanks A900ss, Ok, then its a top down approach- waterproof the roof (last done a year ago), replace the seals on the roof and targa hoop, then see what happens

I'm going to use the renovo that I have when the weather drys up but a few weeks ago I gave mine a quick treatment with some stuff that I got from the Go Outdoors shop. Tent waterproofing stuff that I cant remember the name of, but came in a big tin or aerosol and is clear and worked fine. Was about £10 and they had one that you could apply to a wet roof, some stuff for the stitching too.

Renovo followed by 2 coats of Thomsons Waterseal kept my old black original roof leak free for a further 5 years when I presumed it was already shot I also had the water coming through up above the Velcro flaps like QBEE up until this point, one of those cheap and cheerful productive jobs
