Dripping Westfalia Skylight

[WestWey]

Hi

Our Westfalia Pop-top Skylight has developed a slow drip, drip leak in one corner.

Does anybody have any tips on where to get hold of replacement seals or whatever other parts I might need? The skylight itself is quite worn/distressed looking so wonder if the whole thing needs doing... Going to have a proper look tomorrow.

Thanks!

This guy sells all you need, http://theskylightguy.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; or send Syncroand101 a PM as he brought a load of stuff over here from him but I dont know what he has left. You might get lucky and save on the postage from the states

I had to replace mine after leaving the skylight open when parked up on the sea front in Barmouth (very high winds). Bought one of these off ebay....

When fitting it, I had to open up the holes slightly (the bolts that fasten the skylight to the aluminium hinge are slightly larger - actually, they are square!).
I tested it for leaks, and saw some drips, so I can only assume that VW used a silicon seal or something. I ended up using some small o-ring seals, one outside the van, one inside, so 2 per bolt.
Its been in now for a year, seen plenty of rain, and no leaks

If you buy one and need to open up the holes, drill it carefully..... plastic splinters easily.
