[VAC] Re: roof vents/skylights on '62 GT

Bob,

Best bet is to sell the two 14x14 vent covers.  If they are the original
2 piece plus gasket aluminum Hehr's (not the galvanized replacements),
getting $40-$60 each is not unheard of.  The LeDeux openers can bring
about the same - each.  The 14 x 25 is nothing really more than a
fiberglass dome skylight with an aluminum channel frame on the older
trailers, and a one-piece plastic dome on the newer ones.  I think Steve
Hintgen was hinting that AirstreamDreams is getting close to having a
replacement 14 x 15 available soon with his:

Bob,
Whatever you do with your 14 x 25 vent, please preserve the possibility
of finding a new vent cover some day.

You'll need the LeDeux's for the 14 x 25, so you have an extra 14 x 14
cap and one complete assy ($$) to finance the upcoming 14 x 25.  In the
mean-time, you can do what others have been doing - fabricate a flat
cover using Lexan and aluminum angle to drop over the vent opening lip. 
Capture a gasket (bulb seal) between the Lexan and angle, and you have a
weathertight seal.  Drill the 6 holes for the openers and attach them
and you can even raise and lower it.

Steve - How is the prognosis for the 14 x 15 covers?
