This is an on-going problem, apparently. We were getting the coolie cap
fittings from EFI but they got out of the solar business recently.
Does anyone have a source for these now?

We're using coolie caps for our installations at this point and of course
they are a very robust solution. We typically make them in house.
That said, Chemlink makes a product called DuraSil which is supposidly good

I saw a Retrofit (Wrap-Around) Dektite flashing in a recent Dynamic Fastener
