Yes Roman, the screws are the ticket. A little more awkward to attach at the rear of the panel but one generally doesn't take the panel off very often.

And yes, there is a local outfit that has done some vinyl wraps on aluminum for us. But it still leaves a cold feeling surface. I need a little padding/insulation and some sort of fabric.

Cheers
