New Tiara Owner-Questions
#1
I just bought a 2001 3100 open. This is the first Tiara I’ve owned annd absolutely love it so far. 

After spending the day cleaning it last weekend, I noticed there are a few leaks when it was raining. 

One of the deck access hatches over the galley leaks. Where do I find the new gasket?

The windshield was leaking at the center part where is opens up for ventilation. Is there a gasket that I should replace there? Where do I get it?

The Bimini top was leaking from some of the seams. Do you think applying a waterproofing product would fix this? 

Sorry in advance for the questions for my first post but I see there is a wealth of knowledge.

Don't have all the answers but regarding the leaking center section of the windshield I would see if the rain drain holes on either side of the windshield (when open) are clogged. Owned a 1997 31 Open for 10+ years and had a similar problem. Leak resolved by cleaning out the drain holes in each lower corner of the windshield frame. Seals for the hatches can be found through Tiara. Contact customer services. Not sure about waterproofing the Bimini. M2C...

Use 303 Fabric Guard on the bimini. I coat mine every couple of years.

Thank you for the quick reply. In fact, the drain holes were clogged so I unclogged them. Hopefully this is the fix. 

I also called Tiara per your recommendation and they are selling me the needed gaskets/seals. 

Thank you again for the quick reply

My 41 had a leak issue in the Bimini. I found a fabric sealer online called IOSSO Seam Sealer. It was something like $12 and worked great. I used it one time and never had to reuse it. I also used the 303 Fabric guard on the rest of the top on a regular basis.
