Especially where the glass meets canvas. Any idea on waterproofing?

Re: Camper top leaks at stitching

When it was made (you didn't specify original or replacement), it should have a 2" overlap of canvas over the snaps and zippers. If it doesn't, there's not much you can do about it now. If it's also leaking at the stitching (canvas-to-canvas), that's common. After all, they punched 1000 holes in it witha needle. You can spray with 3M watersealer/protectant, Camp Dry protectant, Scotchguard, etc. This helps shed water a bit more quickly.
