It may not be necessary to move the framing. I have a Northwood Northwind. The interior portion of the skylight fits the opening fine. However, the roof dome is about one inch longer than the opening. They placed it over the opening leaving a one inch ledge under the dome at the front edge of the opening. Hasn't been a problem. However, the skylight has cracking along the inner edge of the flange and has leaked. I got the leak under control but will need to fix water damage to the ceiling and possibly top of exterior wall. None of this was because the dome was 1 inch longer than the opening. The dome became brittle due to age and UV damage.
The opening framing looks okay although slightly water stained. If don't need to replace any other roof or wall framing I will have to go to a slightly larger dome any way since I cannot find the same exact size dome.
By the way my dome was sealed to the rubber roof with butyl tape and the outer seal over the flange and screws was self leveling caulk. On the repair I will still use the butyl tape under the flange but will probably just use Eternabond over the flange and screws.
