Yes I also used Fabsil and used a clean paint brush running along the weave in both directions to clear out any moss / dirt and my hood never leaked, though the car lived out over three winters.

This everytime, also clean the roof before applying with soapy water or Miltons solution and allow to thoroughly dry.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Two layers of Renovo and I'm still not getting that advertisement quality beading.
Two layers of Renovo and I'm still not getting that advertisement quality beading. With a hosepipe I do get some beading initially but then it just turns to this. The roof and car doesn't leak so it's a minor annoyance but I was certainly expecting better after cleaning it thoroughly and following the instructions to the letter.
How have you Boxster owners gone about this and what products did you use?

That's normal. And no leaks = no issue.

You telling me the advertising lies?
But yes, no leaks at all anyway but I was hoping for a bit more. Once it's been on for a while and needs a top up I'll clean it again a few times and then try another option and compare.

I have used Fabsil and Renovo and had similar results. Fabsil marginally better from memory. I repeat treatment every 2-3 years and never had any troublesome dampness / ingress.
