So, Chris... are you saying that the crank on the bus jalousie windows will work on the skylight?  I stripped out my skylight knob some time ago turning it the wrong way (duh!).  Trevor (the skylight guy) was kind enough to give me a used one from an older model bus... it doesn't fit quite right, but will close and open the window.  sure would like to find either the correct one (for a small amount of $$$) or a reasonable substitute (again for next to nothing).  Anybody have good workable low-cost solutions?  Surely I'm not the only doofus to strip out their skylight knob... am I?
