  Subject: issue with a skylight guy's skylight (not a complaint)

  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?
