Sam,

My skylight seal was leaking.  What a pain as the water puddles around
it and leaks in (I used to park on a slope to keep it from puddling).  I
bought the aftermarket seal from Go Westy and it works great.  I changed
all the fasteners while I was at it and replaced them with the Go Westy
stainless steel kit.  I used silicone remover (from plumbing/caulking
section of Wal-Mart) to get the old silicone off from around the
skylight opening.  I sealed around the new seal with silicone and the
new fasteners put everything all back together and that was it.  Not a
trivial thing to do as you have to take the skylight out...probably took
me about 3-4 hours in total (cleaned everything up well while I was at
it).

For an 84 Westphalia:

Looking for the lower surrounding seal for the top and the inside panel
(light tan) for the slider.  Also, I have a leaking roof vent, and
wonder hos others have repaired the ruddy thing.
