Re: A peek under the covers.
I thought the idea was to trap airspace which acts as an insulating layer, cooling down more slowly after warming in sunlight, rather than the fleece itself insulating. The same principle as wearing lots of layers when winter hillwalking (or summer, up here)

Re: how to fix polycarbonate panels in a greenhouse roof
I wonder how well the aquarium-type silicone sealant would work on polycarbonate & aluminium? It's pretty tough, being designed to hold a lot of pressure when building aquaria, but designed for glass of course.
