| Maybe you will get lucky and one of the seals from The Skylight guy will match the old seal. |

Campervan Culture's seal looks like a regular bulb type seal just like the pop top seal. I have some of this - new and will be the basis of my installation. We shall see.

| Right on man, yeah totally understand! I’m going to fabricate a mount using the og screw holes already in place and seal a cutout piece of acrylic up there as a makeshift skylight. My westy is either one of the few that had this or a po cut it DIY to the exact measurements of DEEPS which are in the German westy docs here. When the time comes and you get on it I’m sure it will be topNOTCH ha! lemme know I’d like to purchase from you and go back to that OG pop up vent. |

Good news. Curtquarquesso and I have teamed up. He graciously sent me the whole Skylight system to work over for fabrication.
Ill get on this as time allows. I hope to meet up with my fabricator on the metal bits this week.
