Two things:

1) Don't worry. The zipper angles are very steep and we've never heard of water actually getting through them, even when the flaps stick up, get blown back etc. Water runs off long before it sinks in. Even if it did, the drip lines are well outside your living space.

2) Happy to send you a silicone glue on velcro patch or two if you can't get past #1. Just send us an email request.

For the StratoSpire series, the really critical seam that needs to be well-sealed is the ridgeline including the two reinforced apex points.

Thanks.
