Thank you for the advice
I got back up on the roof this evening with a bulls eye level and checked the top of the clear plastic lid. Sadly it was spot on level with the air bubble sitting perfectly in the middle.
So I guess, like Uncle Bob, this type of enclosure is not the best thing to use.
I was scratching my head struggling to think about what I could use that would offer me a glass lid and I think I might have an idea. What about mounting the panel underneath the glass of an old fire alarm switch box like this?

Not sure how thick the glass would be, but it should not be too thick nor have any protective coatings over it and it should be easy to seal it up to protect it from water. Might give this idea a go?
