2017 Custom SWB
I’ve recently purchased a 6 watt solar panel from Aldi @ £24.99
It’s very low power but I only want it to top up a separate battery I use only for internal led lighting
I want to bond it to the roof without using the supplied self tapping screws
It weighs 2800g dims are 498 x 345 x 15mm, the contact area around the perimeter is only 30mm wide
I’ve read of one guy who used it to bond a home made roof box to the roof
Many people refer to “Sikaflex” but don’t quote the final number eg 512
Someone also mentioned Everbuild Stixall, does anyone have a recommendation of a product to bond an item to the exterior van roof?
And can it be removed without damaging the paintwork if needed?
Also on my Custom there’s a body coloured grommet in the centre of the roof, roughly above where the bulkhead was, it seems the ideal entry point for the solar panel cable
I’ve tried to force it out from the inside but it looks like I’ll destroy it getting it out, anyone got any tips on how to remove it
The objects taped to the roof in the photo are only temporary to check I’ve got clearance under the garage door
