Does anyone have a good idea on what to put on top of your solar panel so that the edges of it don't damage your caravan cover?

@Marv_mart put some rubber protectors on his.... From memory he got them from Clark Rubber.

Yes I did get them from Clark Rubber. Does the job really well.
Need to make sure that you use an adhesive that is not water based and uv safe.
I used a rubber glue that you apply on both surfaces, let get tacky then held firmly in place for 24hours until it cured. Used strong cord looped all over the corners and held tight.
Looked like a spider web!

Another option may be to put rub patches on the inside of the cover where it is rubbing on the edges of the solar panel. I've used sail repair tape bought from Whitworth's Marine. Maybe not a long term solution like that described by @Marv_mart.
I tried some corner protectors that were for stopping the kids hitting their heads on the benches.
Worked ok till the adhesive stopped sticking and they fell off.
Might head up to Clark rubber as those ones @Marv_mart has used look much better.
