I put lots of caulking between the 2 plastic layers and then over the stitches. If you are interested I can give more details on how I did it (and how I would do it differently if I were to start over). I wish I had pulled the plastic tighter because there are a lot of ripples, but it is a big improvement and cost about $60.

Thanks. I`ll look into this option perhaps next weekend and reach out to you if I go down that road. What kind of glue did you use btw?
