Feeling the frustration expressed earlier by others here. I have a trench with rebar ready to have the concrete poured. Can't find any concreters, labourers, handy men to do it. Some say they will come and have a squiz, but don't get here. The ones who do turn up for a quote can't be assed to ring back.
My advice is: not to follow my advice.

Well, I'm "shattered" at me self. Learn from my own dumbf**kery here folks.
When it rains, the solar panel on my roof has always pooled water on whatever corner the car slopes towards. The alloy surround is slightly higher than the "glass" portion, hence the water cannot run off freely.
Thought I'd attempt rectifying this, by drilling some 1-2mm holes to act as drainage points. I drilled through the corner part of the bracket and well and truly away from the "circuit" part of the panel. But , it didn't end well did it... Alloy hole went no worries, but once the drill punctured through the glass part, it was like watching a movie scene where some poor sod's standing on ice and a web of cracks surrounds him like a spider web... The whole panel turned into a mosaic within 10 seconds. Whats worse is the panel worked flawlessly, pooled water or not, over the 2-3 years it's been up there. Don't know what got into me to fix it now...
I've thrown firewood, swags, fire grills, right on top of the panel. Been hit with a ratchet numerous times. Not even a scratch!! But a tiny hole on one extreme corner and it's game over!! I've never seen anything like it!

Ahh crap mate! There was someone here, can't remember who now, who put a perspex cover over their roof panel. Looked nifty and would deal with the water pooling issue.

sounds like it was tempered glass mate, that shit is baked into the shape it is, and once its set there is no changing the shape. any penetrations or edge taps and it does exactly what yours did. for future reference though, its pretty bloody hard to break with a front on colision. i remember throwing out a shower screen from tempered glass at work. the boss and i took turns trying to break it with our claw hammers. at least 10 hits and it didnt even mark. then in a moment of clarity he say "oh wait, stand back" tiny little tap on an edge and the whole thing blew to smithereens.

It always amazes me the rubber bullet filth....err sorry, Vicpol, dont carry spring punches on their belt for this very reason. The amount of times you see them flailing away with their extendable battens on car windows is ridiculous. Just a little pin punch is all is needed.
