X2. I used tape and covered z legs with caulk.  Checked for any signs of movement at each overnight.  That tape has been used as a matter of course at AM. 

At Xtreme I asked Rance to put his eye on them.  His comment was to the effect of "do you know what you will have to do to get those off?"  He mentioned a wire saw to cut them lose.  I am glad we went this route.  For me it is a lot easier to repair surface gelcoat if I had to, than repair holes.

If you are worried about lift or distortion of the panels, create a leading edge wedge from Aluminum or plastic.

That iswhat I  did made 3 alum' deflectors sitting in front of each row. Full width of panels and slight radious on them to conform to roof. Taped on with 3m. never moved and keep the panels clean as well.
