We have a 2008 BL6 which we thoroughly weathered before using it. On our last two trips, Buxton then Duinrell in Hollland our tent has leaked on the front windows where the canopy does not provide any cover. Has anyone else had this problem?

It would be great if the canopy was full sized as we ended up using a £2 tarpaulin to waterproof a £600 tent.

Yes I had the same thing happen with the front windows, it made the curtains damp

Wasn't a major problem and last weekend we were away in it, it rained most of the Saturday and I didn't feel any damp around that area at all. 

I did think about spraying some waterproofing around the windows just to make sure - not sure if that would work tho

I agree with you about the canopy, if only it was like the Wolf Lake 7 and reached the ground

Wonder if they will change the design next year and we can buy a zip on canopy???
