Hi Bob

On some roof's you have to be careful how you use them as all of the 
sections are not bonded together.  A lot of the screws that are used to put 
the metal roofs on actually have a rubber grommet (sp) on them.  Also a lot 
of the sections are just laying one on top of the other with no physical 
connection.

A friend here put a FF2V on a metal roof and he bonded all the sections 
together.  It worked really good on 80 and 40.  73 and GL
