Well,  did the dumb thing today and forgot to close the skylight on my '90
Westy.
Got a quick reminder driving into the garage when it hit the roof  overhang.
Bent the flexible part of the arms, which can be straightened,  but worst of
all, the
little roller thingies are gone. Trevor Reid The  Skylight Guy's site
mentions super
gluing small buttons on or clamping a  split washer on the spot. I've never
had any
luck with superglue and not  sure how to do the split washer thing.
Any suggestions?  Please.
