Which tenax snaps did you use?

Seems lots of options!
tenax / LOXX Fasteners for Maritime

I used the made in England Tenax. http://eagleday.stores.yahoo.net/tebunutcomai.html

Excellent, I'll give them a call.

Do you have any issues with wind getting up underneath them? I had a small rigid panel, a battery tender type, that would start my dodger bouncing in the wind. I like the way your setup is attached.

I was thinking that, each panel does have 8 holes, but I was pondering adding a small strip of velcro of four on the back.

I'll take some pics when done.

Absolutely no problem with them laying flat. No way wind can get under them. If the wind is going to be something crazy like TS speeds, then I would remove them.
