2 bad flexible panels here but my rigid framed one is a champion.

I received an email indicating they were shipping new panel. Confused I called back and was told that I would get an email with a shipping label and that they wouldn't ship until old panel was received. I suspect that this is "left hand not talking to right hand within the company." Will let you know how this transpires.
Why dont you use the yakima tracks and mount to them? Its probably 5-7" lower than the cross bars so it will have a lower profile, and less impact on mpg.Squatch said:I will have roof racks on my Eagle with 3 cross bars. I was thinking to cut 2) 1/4" marine plywood panels and coat them with epoxy resin. Then paint them white. Idealy one would span 2 bars on the rack. This would take any stress of the panel and leave them semi portable. I want to attach the panels to these by the corner grommets in the panels. Same for the plywood a hole in each corner. When nothing is on the rack the panels will be flat and off the roof to cool. If I have my canoe on the rack I could attach the panels at one end to the rack and lean the other end on the boat. This would make kind of a triangle with one on each side connected by a bungee or web strap between the corner holes. Just lash the wiring to the rack with Tie wraps. No shading from the boat or rack. This also gives the option of leaning them to face the sun in certain parking situation. Nothing permanant on the roof. has anyone tried anything like this?
I have his old one. Here is a pic: https://goo.gl/photos/MsPBBVC3HCAC74KU7Spitfire said:What's the difference visually between the old and new panels? When you say long or short leads, what lengths are they?
