Hi  All;
Bumped into something I've not encountered before.  My skylight  leaked the
other night during some wild weather here in the Northeast.   My skylight
open/close mechanism filled with water.  It drips out on  acceleration and
when the knob is turned.  Can anyone tell me how to  easily open that box to
dry it out?  If evaporation is the key, will  anything corrode in there, or
is it all plastic?  This is my first  Vanagon with a skylight, and I replaced
the seal a couple of years ago when it  dripped, but apparently not enough
to fill the mechanism.  Kinda  disappointing to have it leaky so soon.
