cher129 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi all, Weather permitting. id like to remove both my large roof light and small one over the bed to give them a dam good clean where you cant get at them from above or below. Mine are the horizontal slide type, probably common to all years and models, BUT has anyone, for any reason had to remove the perspex slide and is it a difficult job. Instructions would be handy if possible. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cher129 Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hmmmm not much if anything that suggests the plastic alone can be removed ?? maybe its not removable without taking the whole window out. ...NOT ON, could open a huge can of worms, guess its the fingers under the edge as far as possible againremitop_installationsmallpdf. com. pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnEarny Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 (edited) I tried taking my large Heki roof light out to clean, it was a nightmare to refit due to the gas struts. I have since cleaned them using a long handled brush from the side of the van, on a platform. Another thing to try is a small ladder inside the van under the roof light, it gives you more reach, although this won't work on the one over the bed. Don't walk on the roof of the van.

wasntbtf Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 A large bottle cleaning brush helps get to the parts fingers can't reach and of course you can walk on the roof of a Hobby, just don't forget the crampons for the bit at the front, LOL .
