Hi All, we have an old Khyam Rigidome tent, probably about 20 years old. It has always been a fantastic tent, with no problems. Until our recent camping trip where it chucked it down with rain and we noticed a couple of drips. We have put it back up here at home on a dry day and found a few thin patches/worn areas near the seams and major stress points. Is it worth trying to seam seal and patch them all (there are many) or cut our losses as it has served us well for over 20 years? Thanks.

20 years is a good age for a modern synthetic tent.
The polyurethane coating will have degraded due to age and exposure to ultra violet light and there is no practicable cure.
