How thick are the panels &amp; do they slide into their frames? I would like to replace roof panels and need to know thickness. Thanks

The thickness of both the side wall panels and the roof panels is 0.8 mm. The panels do slide in and out of the frame.

I can't say exactly, since I've already put them in place. But it sounds like the overall dimensions. Either way, the "shield" can be pushed forward to give you more coverage, if you like. I made sure to place it under the overhang of my roof, so that it should be protected from snow and rain.

I used them with sheer door panels and they were fine as far as thickness goes. The magnets were not strong enough to allow you to pull the sheers taut. If you just place them so they are not under too much tension, they are fine.

Good question. In my case I ran 4 panels horizontally on a frame of 2/4's running perpendicular to the panels on 2' centers. I covered with black plastic to hold in heat on back side and keep down vegetation underneath, then layed out the panels working from top to bottom. Below each I nailed a 1/2 to the 2/4 frame to provide a lip that kept the solar panel straight and used parachute cord (you can get a big box stores) across the panels from top down to hold them in place. I acn send pic if you like.

It is 3/16" thick and it does not matter (as far as I know) since both sides are reflective. The stickem did not work well for me, so ended up using 3/8" metal screws every 6" on the ribs of each panel.Hope that helps - It has made a huge difference in my garage temp at the end of the day.

The brackets would work if you streighten one side out and mount them to the side of the panel. Instead of the bracket looking like a ( Z ) it would look like a ( L ) Use the long slot to screw to the panel and the two holes mount to the roof. theese brackets are soft metal and can be bent easy and now you will have some adjustment to alow for the curveature.

They are 1/4" thick, whatever the standard size that you had originally. But they snap in, they don't work if you have the type with screws. I tapped them in tighter with a rubber mallet.

I don't know they are installed and my hubby isn't going to take the door panel off again. the only thing I can say is so far they are great and I am sorry Justin Camble had a problem with his. REALLY HOPE IT WAS A FLUKE.

I mounted these myself to my car. They are practically mounted on roof already. They can not be dropped any lower. Sorry. You either need a smaller cargo box or you need to remove cargo box and only install when you really need to use it. Sorry.

Hello, there are four tabs attached to the bottom of the frame with 2 screws (size 10-24) each. You can either mount to a frame or surface using the holes in the tabs or take the tabs off and mount to the frame directly using 10-24 screws. The frame thickness is 1/8" and if you mount directly to the frame the screws should not extend more than 1/8" into the inside of the panel. Thank You, Heliatos Solar

My measuring tape and poor eyesight show about 9/16" thickness of the slats themselves -- over 1/2" but not quite 5/8" (not including the support slats and rubber feet underneath) -- they are strong but will "give" a little after several months when exposed to constant water if you use it in the shower directly under the shower head as we do. I have 2 others, one just outside the shower and one at the sink, and they are solid.

My roof is also rubber, but I have not tried emplacing the panels. I just unroll on the roof for the stay then roll back up afterward.

Yes these are more durable. When I brought one I thought I would have to cover it with plexiglass. But that's totally unnecessary, because the solar cells are already covered with an 1/8:inch of plexiglass. I will be mounting it directly to the roof of my camper van.

The roof panels are poly. So far just got the frame together and have not installed the panels yet.

The manufacture lists the steel in thickness not gauge. The paneling is .0088 MM thick and the framing will vary from .019-.060 MM thick depending on the specific part.

Thank you for your inquiry. The thickness of the side panels is .6875 which is a little under 3/4 inch. If you have any additional questions, please do not hesitate to let us know.

Not sure what you mean. The panels are like a thick plastic. They fit right in to the molding around our ceiling panels and fluorescent lights. You can cut the panels if necessary.
