We have made some dramatic improvements to the original skylight design—improvements that will help your skylight fit more snugly on your pop-top roof and ensure the longevity of your new lens.

This GW-designed lens features the following:
• Slightly adjusted corner radius for a tighter fit.
• State-of-the-art materials for product durability and unsurpassed UV stability.
• Our unique single pane "flex-fit" design—a less rigid skylight means greater durability, easier fitment conformity, and less inclination toward cracking.
• Available in two varieties: translucent bronze, and fully opaque black-out black.
• Dimensions: 17 5/8" x 13 5/8"

Let's face it: There is no good reason that an aftermarket skylight lens should come with such an exorbitant price tag. We are proud to offer this high-quality, super affordable skylight lens!

For the price I wish it were more like the original

Hail finally got my double-pane potentially original skylight. There seem to be a few different sellers but maybe they're all selling all the same part. I ordered from GW hoping the actual part would be towards the top of the quality spectrum if there were different producers.

The original skylight - or at least the part I removed - was double pane. And the plastic was thick and a mix of hard and a little flexible. This detail is important in that the new part is more brittle - I had the drill driver set on low and it cracked one of the mounting holes. Looks like more have cracked with a couple of trips and heat/cold cycles. Maybe this is wasted money as I could be getting another one soon. I did not get the hardware kit but I did add the original washers - did not seem to make any difference. The hardware kit appeared to be regular stainless flat washers however if I were picking a hardware kit for this fragile of a plastic I'd consider some neoprene backed washers and cross my fingers. It's also odd that GW frequently includes warnings & install notes with the part where this did not come with those. So read all the GW stuff on the website and maybe help yours last a bit longer.

Not sure why we cannot have something close to the original. A lot of us live in places where a thick, double pane skylight replacement would be appreciated. If someone could figure out a replacement using the original plastic with its thickness and resiliency it might last longer - I'm now expecting to have to replace my skylight much more often - maybe after many hailstorms instead of almost never. I could not get a thickness of the new part as it has a thick edge.

Love it, and not so disappointed I ended up demolishing my previous skylight. Stupid mistake of leaving the skylight up as I backed my Westy out of the garage. Even closed, it actually grazes the rubber seal of my garage door frame. Sounded like a bomb as I slowly backed out and didn't figure out the unusual creaking sound halfway out of the garage until it was too late. Live and learn.

I just recently received all the excessories to secure my Skylight to make it completely watertight. The hinges had oxidized badly & the skylight was cracked. These, the nuts & bolts & weather stripping will be installed tomorrow just before rain & snow arrive. GW 15" wheels are on the way, want to add rear disk brakes & new snow tires soon. Henley is looking pretty good...

It is a good fit and nice color. If I have a bone to pick you could have included the M-6 washers necessary to avoid the interference. I had to delay the installation and go to Home Depot to get them and I still am not sure I got the correct ones.

Happy with it

Well I broke the last one a few days before an upcoming trip. I ordered this one with rush shipping, and GW shipped it out right away, so I hit the road as planned. Very happy with the service and the product.

Skylight is a great value

Good deal for the price, with a few notables to consider. 1) it is darker than the original skylight I am replacing. In my opinion, that’s a positive! 2) it’s very sturdy! 3) it’s outer dimensions are slightly larger than the original skylight, so the seal isn’t perfect with the almost new gasket. Time will tell if this presents a problem while driving in the rain. 4). The mount holes are larger than the original skylight mount holes, not sure why the skylight was designed this way. I used silicone sealer, hoping it won’t be an issue. Again, I’ll evaluate when it rains. Overall, a good product!

Perfect!

Go Westy is amazing! Not only do they have the best parts on the planet but their shipping and customer service departments are second to none. My story: I busted my skylight and was leaving three days later on an extended trip. I ordered the skylight and associated parts Monday morning and the package was delivered the next morning on Tuesday - 24 hours, and this was to the middle of nowhere in central Wyoming. How'd they do that? By being the best at everything, always! Thank you, GoWesty!!!!!

Kinda wish I went with the really dark Skylight to block more sun, but it was a good fit regardless

I replaced my original lens with the amber lens. It is a perfect fit and looks soooo much better than the old one. The shade of amber is great.
