Thank you very much . Waiting for the sun to come out and it's going to be fabsil time in my bmw. Thanks again for the video🙏

Thanks for taking the time to do a very in depth video! Fabsil is good stuff.

I think I would be tempted to paint the roof first with black fabric paint to get rid of those marks as you won't ever get an opportunity to do it again as it cant be painted onto silicon.The beading aspect is impressive but does it still allow the fabric to breathe? It was my impression that it isn't the fabric that is supposed to be waterproof but the rubber layer beneath??

[@RRW]

Oh yes it’s a tent fabric so it is breathable and to be honest it’s worn off already. You have to do it every year so I will try the dye aspect this year and I might video it because it was something I thought about afterwards so you have a great mindset, thank you for reminding me. There is a rubber membrane underneath but it’s just nice if the water sits on top and beads off as here in the UK it rains a lot and I like to drive as much as I can with the roof down. So after 5 minutes of driving the roof is dry. Thanks for the comment 👍👊🏻

Fabsil is tremendous stuff. I waterproofed a pop up gazebo with it. Water just beads off it😊👍🥵

Just curious thinking about doing this to my soft top how long before I have to apply it again

[@RRW]

I reapply every year, but between coats I left it approximately an hour and a half as it was a very hot day👍

Hi. Thanks for the video great help. I am using Fabsil for the first time. A question. Do you apply the Fabsil 1 ore 2 times after another??

[@RRW]

Yeah I applied it once let it dry because it was quite sunny and then started again from the other side. I was not stingy with the application. I felt the more I put on the better it would be👍👍

..happy days..just done my boxter S
Any of you guys leave car outside all year?
Cheers

[@RRW]

Yes I do 👍 daily driver.

[@marcusauerayleighus1651]

I used Fabsil exactly the same product as you on my smart car and the water does not bead like yours?

[@RRW]

I did apply nearly the whole can and I left it six hours in between each application. Not sure if that would help.
