That looks similar to how I did mine. Just make sure the panels are secure when driving at 60 MPH (a hurricane force of wind), and when raised in case there's a strong gust of wind. How did you seal the roof penetrations?

John, they will be locked down at all four corners each during travel. Hopefully, laying flat and carcjing the wind edge-on they will ride well. I used TightBond Metal Roof Sealant around the holes then laid on the angle iron, another ring of sealant then a washer then another ring of sealant then the bolt. If that happens to not be enough i will spray it with a shell sealant.
