flex arm thing on skylight-help?

[PDXWesty]

It's easier if you install the flex arm into the slots on the skylight before bolting it to the roof. You can slide it into the slots then rotate it into position then bolt it up to the roof. That's the way I've always done it.

Wrong wheels.
Too large an OD.

IIRC, you need to unscrew the arm assembly 1st then put the wheels into the larger, rounded part of the metal tab; then screw it back in

be sure the wheels are not ground down - if so, you need a new arm ass'y

- good time to check the seals & trate the FG near the opening

BTW - i like the way they made the opening just small enough to make it hard to get your shoulder up thru there

Wow! Thanks for all the quick replys. Watched the vid and it sure seems like it should go easier than it did with me. I'll try again coming in at a 90 degree angle. Thanks again all.

Yeah, my mistake was in assuming that the wheels had to fit in the wider opening at the ends of the slot. They don't. Just stick the wheels through close to perpendicular to the slot and then align the arms correctly. Thanks again people.
