Subject:issue with a skylight guy's skylight (not a complaint)
From:Brian Cochran
Date:Thu, 14 Feb 2002 11:25:30 -0800

Hi Everyone.  I bought a beautiful skylight from the skylight guy back in
2000.  It still looks beautiful.  But My problem is something I need to
address eventually.  THe skylight doesn't quite fit right.  It's as if the
alignment is off by 1/4 to 1/2 inch towards the rear of the van.  This means
the seal in the front is very tight when the skylight is closed, and the
rear section is loose enough to allow water to get in (although that never
happens).

Any Suggestions?

I am thinking about drilling the hinge holes towards the front of the van
more.  This requires bending the shape-fitting hinge mounts to allow the
slide forward and silicone, of course.  But then I have to worry about the
raise/lower arms lining up with the rear of the skylight.  I don't want to
create more probs.  ANyone have a similar prob?
