There's significant weight involved in this lid, gas cylinders and bungees aren't rugged enough for my tastes when driving. The solar panel alone weighs 45 pounds, plus the weight of the cables, tilting panel mount and all the wood. Also I'm going to make it lockable whether it's up or down, bungees aren't secure enough when I'm carrying everything I own.
