I installed a fiberglass/plastic panel roof over a carport and now there are some leaks at a few of the seams and a couple of spots where it is nailed. The panels are the 26″ x 12′ green panels.
I overlapped and nailed with the neoprene nails, but like I said, there are still a few leaks.
I was going to use clear silicone and try to seal up at the bad spots.
My question is, has anyone used these panels and had success with no leaks?
If so, what did you do different or extra to make sure it was leakproof?

These panels are very low end, you get what you pay for. They are lap specific and need to be lapped over 3 corrugations and screwed in the valley. When you replace them go back with a polycarbonate. Ilearned this 20 years ago and haven't use them since.
