My canvas maker has sewn sunbrella tabs with fuzzy Velcro underneath on the bimini that run the length and width of the solar panel. We were able to sew lengths of the toothed Velcro directly to the perimeter of the panels. The tabs go over the outer edges of the panels, securing them in place on all 4 sides. As such, my panels can be easily removed when the bimini top needs to be stowed away for weather events simply by peeling back the velcro.
