Hi there I am new to this site so I would really appreciate some advice from you all.

We purchased a second hand outwell Montana 6p last year and it's a great tent but there was some rain coming in from what looks like the window seams. Could anyone recommend a good sealant or product I can use to prevent water getting in? There's no tears or anything. And otherwise it's in very good condition. I don't fancy waking up with rain drops again..... thank you in advance for your replies!

Don't forget to leave a review of all tents you've used, for a chance to win fantastic prizes

New! Please upload a photo of your tent to the Tent Showcase!

Seam sealant. Many brands such as mcnett, stormsure, kampa. It comes in tubes or tubs and can be a paste or brush on solution. It can be messy stuff so needs to be applied and allowed to dry whilst the tent is up.
Before applying, I'd make doubly sure it isn't condensation and don't get it on the windows
