Upon first size up, the hole alignment didn't seem great. Once I got a few fixings in loosely, I joggled the panel round aligning the holes I was about to put a fixing in and had no problems.

Stuff, lots and lots of stuff. And yet I still feel like I've got a never ending list of things that still need doing. Why is it taking so long? WHY???? 
I don't suppose you have part numbers for these connectors please?
I have a fuse box under the drivers seat that is currently connected to the starter battery but will serve a leisure battery soon. Ran the cable from that to a switch on the side panel (under vw logo) and then up to the tailgate. Used speaker cable as recommended by @travelvolts
I have the forum touch led lights but wanted a separate switch as well.

I have somewhere, I'll dig them out.

Installed new, much more flexible, silicone cables from the new solar controller up to the connectors from the solar panel, which has allowed me to hide them much better. Then ground channels in the aluminium strip that the canvas fits into, between it and the roof, and lined them with grommets cut in half to form a U shape. It only needs to protect the cable from the metal, the top will be against the fibreglass roof and needs to be flush with the top of the channel so that it screwed back tight and with no gap. Then put the frame piece back on and now my solar cables will not be going through the canvas when it comes back from being repaired. Saw 155W as soon as it was plugged back in which is a new record for me straight away, but had to put it back in the garage as I need to work this afternoon.
Hopefully the C spanners will arrive today or tomorrow then I can get on with my B14 adjustments Sunday

They are, I did abit of tinkering to make it nicer like a peice of fabric to help move it from bed to seat and some material to make it less rattley om the frame but as a base unit already powdercoated I've no complaintsthanks - looks ideal and a great price.
