Big Skylight Issue

Post by NakedonaHorse » Tue Mar 04, 2014 12:07 pm

While Noah performed excellent in the snow the very shoddy skylight started leaking not long after. I've looked on GoWesty for a new assembly and I figured before I go buying a new skylight I better ask you guys what you think. Should I get the standard one? Does anyone have other ideas that might be cheaper alternatives? I don't really care if it opens or has a screen, and I don't need tint or anything like that. I've been fine with the plexi that is um.. glued screwed on there.

Here are some pictures of the issue for your enjoyment or disgust. :pukeright:

This guy makes his skylights from the factory molds. I'm not sure if GW sells his products, but he seems to be the go-to guy for skylights. I have no experience with him other than reading stuff on the forums.

I saw his actually, but it says his store is closed until April, I'm hoping to get the BUS(Van) outta the garage ASAP.
