Sharp Corners On Solar Panel

Quick preventative tip:

Tore the **** out of my cover a couple times over the past year when adjusting and removing. Replaced the cover and added these corner guards to prevent the sharp corners from tearing it.

Excellent idea. Glad it was only the cover that got torn and not a cut on you.

Saw the size of these and they worked perfectly to protect my head on the cabinets above the sink.

I’m happy when my bald head isn’t bleeding. Seems I don’t duck low enough going into the passthru and duck too far at the sink. Now the sink won’t be an issue! [emoji41]

So true the corners of 5th wheel slides are no fun either.
