    Even with a solid roof & no apparent leaks, the gauges fog up. LRs fix for Defenders was to drill a small hole in the housing for ventilation.

    If you want better coverage over the whole tarp, get 4 litres and let it dry between coats.

    Dry seal doesn't discolour the fabric like some other brand products.
    Ah ? thank you. I will do a double coat. I think it will need it!!!

    Haha point noted about the Wiki, Julian is the fall guy though!

    That's good!

    Thanks for your help gang! Sydney is going to be wet this weekend so I'll pack my snorkel.

    Leave a tub of that anti damp stuff in there works a treat.

    From delivery in 91 until we got the big frown face in (iirc) 94, we ran our RFSV s with tops off, doors off and canopies off. Patrolling around east coast FNQ, not renowned for widespread drought.
    Foggy gauges the only issue. That and a wet arse
    Cheers, BDave.
