Ric,

I did it a couple years ago, suing a "roto-zip" tool to cut the fiberglass.
Was pretty easy (taped plastic sheeting on inside of top to catch dust),
after I carefully laid out dimensions of hole. I left (IIRC) about 3/4 of
horizontal lip on blank section of the roof. Better to err on the side of
leaving too much lip and cutting and have to trim it to make seal fit
than...
