Default Roof waterproofing

Hi guys. Now the decent weather is upon us, I want to get out in the car as much as possible. I have so far avoided days with rain forecast, as the roof (new design supplied by Marlin) looks like it will let a lot of water in at the seams/stitched areas. So I haven't actually tested the roof in the rain. But, you can see daylight through some joints. I am not a hydrologist, but if light can get through, I'm sure H2O can too!
Have you guys used any waterproofing products i.e sprays/paint on sealers? Or do I need to glue strips on the inside of the roof where I feel water will get in and then spray the top with a hydrophobic coating?
I don't plan in getting her wet on purpose, but the weather the way it is, you can't be too careful!

Your input would be greatfully received.

Cheers Rob
