Re: Adding solar on my 1999 406
I attached the panels on the hardtop using Alien tape and earth magnets so that I didn’t have to drill holes in the hardtop, and attached the panel to the bridge canvas with the earth magnets too. they worked perfectly over the last 2 summers, and never had a panel move in some good winds.
It’s definitely a lot of work to install everything properly, but well worth it if you anchor out a lot like we do.
