2. Clean off old hardware, nuts and bolts. There may be caulking material, grit, grease that needs to be removed

3. Examined hinges, straighten if necessary

4. You may need to fix flex arms, especially the nylon washer at the end of the flex arm. You may consider replacing it with a washer of the same size and gluing it on the flex arm with epoxy or crazy glue.

5. Check seal, possibly replace if damaged or cracked.

6. Carefully take the skylight from the plastic bubble wrap. You may want to handle it with a soft cloth as not to mark it.

7. Install the skylight in reverse order of removal, noting the following:

***IMPORTANT*** Do not fasten the bolts too tightly. This will cause the skylight to crack!

To ensure zero leakage, add fiber gum or suitable caulking compound for fastening hardware to prevent any water leakage through the bolts and skylight.

To ensure the life of your skylight, do not drive with your skylight open (and watch out for those underground parking lots!)
