 |
|
Hey -- so, at highway speeds it really rattles around up there. I never open it. Should I get new hinges or just seal it shut and if it's to be shut, what should I use?
I've tightened the hardware and the hinges allow the forward lip of the skylight to lift and rattle at highway speeds, less so with windows open and less air pressure.
Thanks --

Bummer. I guess it depends if you just want the light, or light & air. Personally, I would replace it.
