Anyone have any tips for fitting to roof panels, it's much too tight a fit to clip on and too much friction to slide on more than a metre [even with soap as lubricant] I am trying to fit 3m strips.

Anyone?
You can use foil tape instead at the higher end and then a breathable tape for the lower end.
Last Time I did this a remember it being a pain, I used a piece of baton, hammer and thin flexible pain scrapers in the end, working my way from one end to the other.

Thanks, doesn’t help I can’t feel my hands, maybe try again after my op.
havent got a clue but as the section seems to be a "C" section would it be possible to insert an oversized bit off timber full length to over stretch by say 6mm so when removed you have a few seconds to slide in before the section recovers to memory size ??
as i say just a though
other ideas warm the section carefully to soften
but fully just ideas where careful trial and research often on offcuts to save component damage may be a good idea

Afraid inserting timber would be as difficult if not more than clipping onto sheeting , it’s very rigid and tighter than a C section.
Cannot slide on as most has to be clipped between joint bars .
Even if timber could be inserted a few seconds is not enough for 3m lengths.
