Framed panels can easily be hidden between the rails of a roof rack. While suboptimal, flex panels can be adhered flat on the roof. Neither are obvious to passers-by. | Framed panels can easily be hidden between the rails of a roof rack. While suboptimal, flex panels can be adhered flat on the roof.
