Just outside 12 yr. warranty one panel has sprung a couple of leaks. used repair kit available. Am wondering how feasible diy replacement would be cost wise. Maybe it would just be best to keep repairing with the plugs. Prices have seemed to be outside the affordable range. Can't seem to get a response from Heliocol. Guess its a dealer oriented network designed to exclude the DIY guys like myself. Anyone aware of a source for replacement panels? thanx in advance for those who respond.

Addendum: To those of you who wish a nice quick repair without removing entire tube from the system by using repair kit plugs: buy a 1/4 I.D. length of polythylene tubing. Cut out the leaking section. SLEEVE the polyethylene over the two free ends so that there is approx. 1/2 inch coverage of the free ends.. Walla, instant repair. The polyethylene is somewhat rigid and the fit is comfortably tight. After all, no gr8 deal of pressure is coming through those lines anyway. For good measure, if you have a bit of silicone lubricant, coat those two cut ends before insertion into the new sleeve.
Dave, After speaking with heliocol, you are able to purchase the 4x12 panels at 50% off. Have you called the dealer?
