The "box" on the inside of my skylight has many cracks and a few breaks in
it. I have got the replacement for it but since the manufacturer of mine is
" out of business" and I got a new different box. I also received a new
skylight to replace the one on the roof as I am told that I must replace the
actual skylight on the roof of the MH to have a proper installation.
The new box is totally enclosed with a second window in it. Once it is
installed I will have no access to the inside of the skylight unless I
remove the new box. There is no sealing required inside with the new box.
I have checked the dimensions of the new and the old skylight with respect to
the new box. Both clear the box and the new one has about an additional
1/2" clearance over the old one.
Do I really have to replace the old skylight?????
I would rather not unless it is necessary as the existing one has EternaBond
tape on it for a seal. I have removed EB in the past and am not afraid to
tackle the job but don't want to unless necessary.
