Hi all,
After putting off this horror show for ages I'm attempting to mount solar panels on the roof of a Sprinter saddled with a curved fibreglass roof.
As you can see from the attached images said curvature is playing havoc with my hopes of a smooth install.
Due to the size of the panels, they must be mounted with these alu strips along the short ends.
The fibre is about 3mm thick and periodically braced. As you can see from the last image, at its most extreme the gap is 35mm.
My original plan was to go mastic only but there's no way that space is getting filled with bond - any thoughts on best plan of attack and how to make it is as pretty as possible?
Solid wooden spacers? Would 3 screws through into wooden blocks do the job (a spacer at each end and one through the middle?
Alternatively - should I just suck it up and get some roof bars fabricated...
Cheers!
