Yes - I plan to leave the panels mounted on the roof, but can easily remove them for cleaning, roof re-calking or golfball size hail-storms
Between the MC-4 quick connectors and the large twist knobs on the mounts they are easy to remove. For some security, I'm thinkiing of attaching one additional bracket in the middle of the leading edge of each of the frames and drilling a hole thru the bracket and the frame that I could stick a small pad-lock thru. Won't stop someone really determined, but might hinder the opportunistic thief if I'm parked in a lot somewhere eating lunch.
The back of my TM (2619) didn't seem to have enough room when the TM is folded down and there were a lot of potential shadows from AC/vents along the sides.
Lifting the front shell with the panels mounted was a bit harder (panels added about 37 lbs) - so next time I have it out, I may try to adjust the torsion a bit.
