I went ahead and cut the pins. I tried to collapse the ends and push them out but it wasn't happening. I thought about removing the cover at the inside hinges as you suggested, but I was more concerned about trying to line that hardware back up when reassembling . It looked as if it was a little more finicky. I think I will see if I can find some long bushings with a long bolt to reattach before ordering factory parts.
I have written extensively in the past about how I really do not like the Dometic window products... and the skylight did not disappointing me yet again. It is really tough to get sealant under those front hinges. The frame is tight close to the roof surface and the plastic (!) hinges that are part of the frame flex. There is really no good way to seal under them. All I could do was clean the crud out and schmee sealant under as best I could with a putty knife.
These skylight are so delicate and made so cheesy and would never have them on any camper again.
