Anyone Worked on a Truma Solar Panel? (1 Viewer)

How does the front spoiler fit. E.g. is it:
1.) a snap-over (top or bottom edge first?) or
2.) slide-in-from-the-side or
3.) glued
I want to take an installed one off.
Before I start to apply force

Don’t have a definitive answer but from their website it looks like the spoiler clips on or glues on.
Can you look under the panel to see if it’s a full length mount or corner mounts.

They are usually corner type mounts as per the photo from grasscutter, on an Eldiss, but with just the one face. The wind deflector clips over but may now be brittle if old.

Yes, corner mounts. At the risk of seeming over-cautious - are the top and bottom clip on flanges the same length? I.e. better to lever off from top or bottom. ( OK, that’s a long shot )

OK done it! Thanks for your help, folks!
I levered it off via the top flange which was easier than I (pessimist!) expected. Not too brittle, yet. The flanges are of equal depth. Now the problem is that, today, it’s too freaking cold on my driveway to replace the obsolete-in-2006 MC3 connectors, that Elddis kindly fitted to my 2021 van, with MC4s.

Too cold!!!!
Shorts on and sunbathing in the garden today.
That’s the real north/south divide.
Glad you sussed out the mount.

Yes it was nice here yesterday but unfortunately didnt have chance to sunbathe with all the gardening jobs to be done with the weather forecast to be rain for today onwards.
Good to hear pat100 sorted out the wind reflector issue.
