Hi, I'm planning to fit a 100w panel to my fiberglass hightop but don't really want to drill holes, is there any other suggestions out there, what is the the most popular method.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have my panel mounted within the lugage rack at the rear.
I bolted mine through the roof using small angle brackets that came with the panel. The dome head of the bolts are on the inside and the nuts on top are painted with a dab of mastic. Been up there a good few years with no problems.

Solid panel on roof - attached with brackets - mastic to death (works fantastic) - only hole is for the wire coming through a fixing - no problems in 2 years
