I have two nice semi-flexible solar panels to attach to my coachroof. The current ones are held on with velcro, which made changing them easier, but the news ones are very much better and so changing them is a minor but non-zero concern. Also, the velcro always went manky.
I've been toying with all sorts of ways of fastening them down. They only have holes in the corners, which isn't enough to hold them down in the middle, and drilling more is not at option. The easiest solution would be simply to stick them down, but it has to be with something which can, if necessary, be undone. I think that rules out Sikaflex (does it?) and so would welcome any other suggestions.
The coachroof has a basket-weave non-slip pattern moulded into it, so reasonable gap filling is essential.
Plan B is to hold them down with a teak batten along each side, held down by screws through the corner holes.
