There are three screws holding the solar panel to the rest of the unit. It may take a bit of gentle persuasion to dismantle the panel/o-ring assembly because it's gooped in place with what appears to be silicone grease. This is a 6-year-old unit that I have, but I doubt they have changed it that mu

I have a 1986 27-V. I have a 1/2 diameter hole in the head area where the VHF cable passes through. I'll see if I can get some sort of measurement of the thickness this weekend. I would guess from memory that it is probably about 3/4 inch thick, and it is definitely cored. Bill Bina On 7/14/2

Nate, I have one that is over 20 years old. Runs like a top every day. I don’t know how, but it just keeps going like the energizer bunny. It sounds like your battery may not be charging. Try checking the voltage on the battery. If it’s not, the solar cell may not be functional anymore.
