I just love my TarpTent Scarp 1, but I'm having a problem sealing the outer fly. (But none of the water permieates the inner tent!)

The problem is with the "patches" that hold the connectors to the optional poles and tie-downs. I have applied two coats of sealant recommended by Tarp-Tent (GE Silicone II clear sealer/glue) to the outside as per the instructions. Yet they leak trough to the inner tent.

The seams all sealed well, I just have a problem with the "patches". Any suggestions?
