We don't have any experience of using this product, but if you have a hydraulic leak in the roof mechanism we'd suggest the only way of being 100% sure it's fixed is to get a specialist to investigate and repair the seals. A restorer product may work for a short time, but shouldn't be viewed as a permanent fix.
