How to determine if you have an AG Panel roof?

This is simple to determine using a tape measure. Simply measure the center to center distance of the major ribs. If it is 9″, you have an AG Panel roof.

IMPORTANT NOTES ON STARLINK INSTALLATIONS:

1. Starlink has a variety of base mount options available, many of which may not work with this kit. In particular, the standard four point mount may or may not have holes large enough to accommodate the 8mm diameter bolts supplied with our kits, there may not be enough material around the holes to drill out to 5/16″ [8mm].
2. We recommend the “Pivot” or “Volcano” mounts. Note that you may need to enlarge the mounting holes on the mount base with a 5/16″ drill bit if they are not large enough for the M8x40mm bolts we supply with the kit. Please consult your Starlink documentation or contact Starlink customer service to determine which of these two options is best for your specific roof application.
3. Some older Starlink satellite dishes have a base that may require a longer bolt than we can supply to mount the dish (Our bolt is 1-9/16″ [40mm]). If you have one of these dishes, you will have to source longer bolts locally. We suggest preassembling your dish to one of the GripperFix rails to determine how much longer your fastener needs to be.
