Hi,

I decide to mount solar panel directly on the roof. I looks very clean and no cables outside of the vehicle.

Do you have any ideas, pictures how to route cable inside the pop up roof ? (VW T6 Cali beach)

I want to glue solara M-Serie marine flexi panel directly on the roof. (see the .pdf)
Glue with sikaflex (mounting instructions)


I need a advice how to route cable inside tent. And advice how to remove top roof upholstery.

Then It is easy part for my friend who make custom electric installations inside the cars and vans. I then route cable under the side plastic panels to the second battery.

Thanks, Ivan,.

The easiest way is through the Rubber cable cover that takes the cable loom into the tailgate. No need to drill holes or remove roof lining which is, I believe, glued on.
