Subject:Re: Best Roof Vent gasket replacement?
From:Doug Alcock

I got skylight and seal from http://www.theskylightguy.com/ good price and
Trevor is a good guy to deal with. Replacing the skylight was easy --- I dabbed
a bit of clear silicone to help seal the bolts but this may have been overkill.
I ordered the gasket as a spare (for a rainy day :-)) and as my original is
still good I can't speak for how hard/easy it is to change.

Cheers,
