Have you touched a solar panel that is in the sun and operating? They get bloody hot, but as you say the bonnet is a stupid place to put them, why not the roof?Apparently, sticking flexible solar panels to the bonnet is now a thing, with folks making 'kits'!!!
Sounds insane to me. Solar panels don't like heat, so let's stick it on the hottest part of the car with no air flow underneath
He had 2 options available, several wee taken off scrapers, but for a few hundred extra a fresh refurbed item, not gonna lie. It isn't the cleanest job, but I can only assume his ad wasn't a massive lie and cleaning the FIP wasn't as important as refurb.
Yes, the hotter they get, the less efficient they become!!
Depends on your car. Wife tried to warm her hands on Otto's bonnet after a 60 mile mostly motorway and A road run the other winter while I sorted the pay and display, his bonnet was stone cold to touch. Plenty of warmth wafting through the grille though.Apparently, sticking flexible solar panels to the bonnet is now a thing, with folks making 'kits'!!!

You generally have more luck pushing at the other end
that's why they invented the heated screen 
You can get to them, I did mine in situ. Just remove the glove box, or panel under the steering wheel and you can get to the screws holding them on, and guide/squeeze them out through all the wiring and stuff. There's a bit of car yoga involved, but it's pretty easy.
Thanks for that, I'll take a look one day when I have time.
not the left one, they are well covered, easier access if the car doesn't have AC
Hang on @Datatek ... I'm talking about the blower motors! As you were. I can see that the motor that does the recirculation flap thing might be a real PITA.
I think we are. My mistake! In my defense it was bank holiday weekend, and Tuesday is the new Monday.oops thought we were on about distribution motors
The car is LHD
That's what I thought
. It has certainly done it less since I sorted the left rear height sensor looseness. Definitely cannot be tracking between the white connector height switch wires because the connectors no longer exist !! Maybe I need to check the other sensors.
