Hi All - So my new (to me) camper has Diflex 2 roof. Could I put those drill free plastic mounts on this kind of roof, and should I? I'd rather not put holes in the roof if I can avoid it. What is the consensus on those glue on mounts? Do they hold up well?

Thanks!

Personally, I would never rely just on those, especially on a rv roof. people have put them down with two-sided tape, but I say just screw in. make sure your on studs, squirt roof sealant into the holes before you drive the screw in then use a self-leveling sealant over top and it won't be an issue

Interesting idea. I don't like the fact that they are hollow on the bottom giving a small surface area for adhesive though.

On a positive they look like a not previously thought of good candidate for my 3d printer.
