I hate that danged skylight.  Something always leaks - the gasket, the hardware, skylight itself ... for the benefit it provides it is not worth it.  Also I can't get the screen to stay in place without drilling right through the thing and bolting it in.  And my first replacement warped (don't recall where I got it).

Also, it can fail (somehow) and smells like death.  I thought i had a dead animal in my van for a while.

That being said it sounds like both options Ron carries are made on original molds (Ron correct me if I'm wrong).  I suspect either will do the trick.  My replacement was the single pane.  

Good luck!

Is the skylight is only about 4 years old.

So, what is a good choice for a replacement?
Hardware seems fine.

The skylights we sell are made on the original Delta Six molds and meet original factory specs. Those sold elsewhere are aftermarket and do not conform to original specs. There was more engineering involved in the original design than you would think. For example there was a spec for rigidity. If the skylight isn’t pliable enough it won't seal well, plus in the event of impact (from inside or outside the van) it may transfer the force to the hinge mounting points and damage the pop top itself. The original skylight was dual-pane (like a storm window), providing insulation when camping in cold climates. These days we also offer a single pane version that is still made on the factory molds (by Trevor Ried, aka The Skylight Guy) for those who want to save a few bucks and don't need the extra insulation. 

Here's a link showing the various options:
