All Good , I'm hear your concern's and are going to put a pack rack bars on each end and bolt on to bars, just going to find something to suit the same profile height as the solar panel because I still want to get the patrol in the doorway of garage. this is why I haven't gone for a luggage type rack system that I wouldn't have the need for one in the first place. p.s. Car not moving on any trip in near future. the Solar system was to keep it alive. cheers Alex
