Restoring slide topper waterproofing

Hello everyone. I am in a 2017 Georgetown XL. Is there a way to restore the water proofing of the slide topper fabric? I am having a problem of a puddle forming on top and slowly leaking through, leading to other problems I’m working to fix.
The puddling isn’t a problem during a normal rain but after sitting through two days of nonstop rain the water begins to find a way in. I’ve put an inflatable raft under the topper for now but can’t keep doing that every time I set up.
Working on resealing the seams now and trying to get everything to work the way it should.

If it is fabric and not vinyl, Rustoleum makes a NeverWet spray on fabric water proofing that is absolutely fantastic.

us two 2 small beach balls to eliminate the sag. Works great.

sounds like you have a seal issue too as even without the toppers water shouldn't be coming in.
