HI everyone, The roof on the old girl needs waterproofing and was wondering if anyone knew the amount of aerosol waterproofing chemical i should apply, Do i give it a light dusting or saturate it.

Just to clarify, what will you be using to do the waterproofing? An aerosol spray or a bottle of waterproofer?

I have purchased 3 cans of Aerosol waterproofer, I guess there is enough between the cans to saturate the roof maybe twice if that's what i have to do.

That sounds like it ought to be enough but I guess you'll only know for sure when it's dried off and then it rains again. I suspect you won't have to wait long for the latter :nonod:
I bought a 2 litre tin of Fabsil waterproofer (usually used for camping equipment) and paint that on very generously from time to time. Goes a long way and does the job pretty well.

It's been said before, but the soft top is inherently waterproof as there is an impermeable layer within the fabric construction. Amazing but true: quality construction on an MG. :tada:
Waterproofing does reduce growth of mould however, by repelling surface water as your picture shows.

It will be all right in the end. If it isn't all right yet, then it is not yet the end..
