I laid down a whooooole lotta EPMD rubber gasket around the edge.
I screwed the brackets into the skylight frame. There are 2x2 pine supports flush with the interior roof line here. I made some wooden knobs out of t-nuts and scrap wood.
And that's it! IF you crank down on all 6 knobs you can get it pretty tight. I think it should work.... and if it leaks, well it's easy to pop it off and fix it!
I still need to finish the frame (paint? polyurethane?), glue it to the plexi and add a wind fairing to the roof on the forward side of the hatch. That way driving rain should fly over the gasket.
I'll definietly give yall an update after the first rainy night.
