Hi all, my first post since signing up so be gentle with me!
I'm close to buying a Snipe Pro Max for our Chausson S3 and was wondering if it was really necessary to drill holes through the roof of the van (as the instructions show) to fit the mounting plate?
As an alternative I was considering buying a larger sheet of suitable material (8mm HDPE or nylon?) and Sikaflex-ing that to the roof first, then screwing and Sikaflex-ing the Snipe's mounting plate to the sheet. From what I've read about the strength of Sikaflex I would think that the final assembly should be strong enough, but I would greatly appreciate any input from more experienced users. Idiotic or workable?
Thanks in advance,
Frasue
