Default Coleman Solar Panel From Factory?

Today I was on a ladder looking over the roof. I discovered that the gray plastic frames on the long sides of the panel are about an inch or so too short. I also noticed the faded Coleman logo. Did the factory put Coleman's on?

Don't know about the Coleman logo, but HiLo used 15 watt panels made by ICP Global Technologies.

Here's a photo of what we have on top of ours. You can see how the frame has pulled apart from the end on both sides.

I would get some sealer and seal the exposed areas of the solar panel. You don't want moisture to mess us your solar panel.

Looks like the plastic strips on the sides shrunk. Yes , it needs sealed or water will damage it.
