A little disappointed with Sparesbox and the courier company. Spares didn't make any attempt to cover what it is and the courier left it right in front of the door in full view, where Australia Post left me a "you have a parcel" slip for a $200 pair of boot that I brought that are probably in one of those white post envelopes.

I see a shiny object fly up in the air and then to the side up ahead. Yes , it was a solar panel at 80kmh plus the decent wind gusts we've been having here ...
The metro ring road suddenly comes to a grinding halt, as a car in front of me quickly swerves to the left in panic. Pull over to see if all is well.
All is well fortunately. But the primary reason is just about unbelievable.
A solar panel that was silliconed onto the roof rack flew off the car and hit 2 other vehicles ...
Yes , I repeat , silliconed onto the roof. No spelling error there folks . Silliconed. 1.5m x 1m panel siliconed onto the roof. Not even a roof rack. Just a plain flat roof... The intelligence level here is at question.

There is no way I would ever properly prepare the surface of my roof and my solar panel and then silicone it on with a full thick bead all the way around. Why? Because it would be near on impossible to remove it in the future 🤪🤪🤪

Nah - it's easy to remove it. Just take it for a drive down the road and make sure Hodge is behind you!!

I have to agree with this. Like a lot of caravaners I have my solar panel supports glued on with Sikaflex. I’ve never heard of anyone screwing them on through the roof of the van.
Took me a weekend to remove the supporting brackets of 1 panel to go to a bigger size. Had to cut them off with piano wire and spent hours with a caramel wheel to get the stuff off.

Do some research Hodgey mate, it is very standard practice and the preferred method of fixing them.
It is not standard bathroom silicone that is used but a fit for purpose sikaflex product.
