Is the water your getting coming through from the outside or condensation from your heater hitting the inside of the cold cover?

Camp Dry, 3M also makes a good spray on water proofer.

Seam sealer is also a good idea. all of those needle holes will leak if not sealed. Camping supply stores have it.

I don't know if this would work on a flip over, but I have waterproofed tents by using mineral spirits and 100% silicone. I think it's about 5 parts mineral spirits to one part silicone (could be wrong on that). Just mix it super well with a drill then paint it on with a foam brush. The mineral spirits will evaporate and leave the silicone in the fabric. There are a lot of videos on youtube about it.
