Thanks! Will see if it holds up to a battering...
I've posted before somewhere about the suckers, but they're basically glass lifting ones cut in half. I got these in a clearance sale at homebase or b&q ( I forget now) for £3-4 each. Think you can similar in Screwfix

They're these Silverline ones, sure you can get them under many other brands. They're rock solid though. I tried cheapy single ones from Amazon or ebay previously, but they were pathetic. Had a flash of inspiration with these whilst helping a friend fit a side glass window into his transit (camper conversion) and saw how strong they were

https://forum.elgrandoc.uk/threads/best-magnetic-roof-strip-for-an-awning.42839/post-610829 I do something similar with sets of bathroom grab rails which are weight rated for 136kg, I've only used them a handful of times but they have stayed on.

Is that drilled into the 'rail' that has the roof rack slots in it or into the roof itself?

Onto the roof itself so it is neatly hidden under pop top when closed.

Excellent solution, it's exactly the sort of thing I was thinking about. I'll look into getting a C rail and have a go. Thanks for all the ideas everyone & happy camping.
