Does anyone have experience replacing skylights on Jayco's, or in general.

I'm getting ready to order my replacement skylight.

Are the inner and outer domes the same size normally? I'm asking because it is easier measure the inner dome. To me they seem like they are the same size.

Original OP here.

Are the inner and outer domes the same size normally?

I think the outer skylight is slightly bigger than the inner garnish dome.

I get measurements where the outer appears to be about 1/2 larger, with a bigger flange.

I ended up ordering from www.eztopsworldwide.com. I was able to get both the outer skylight and inner for 187.00 shipped to my door.

Just hope I got the measurement correct.

Yes. I replaced the shower skylight on our Jayco last year, after it was broken by a falling branch in a wind storm. I purchased the replacement from adventurerrv.net.

You scrape the old sealant off the screws, then from around the edge. You must be careful, as the rubber membrane will tear, leaving a hole. You won't get all of it, and that's OK. After removing the old one, clean off the old seal as best you can. You won't get it perfect, unless there's a product out there that takes it off I don't know about. I used lacquer thinner. Put butyl tape around the edge on the bottom of the skylight, then screw into place ( I bought new stainless screws), then use self leveling sealant in a caulking gun over the screws, and around/over the skylight edge.

Look at how it was sealed originally before you start, and try to re-produce that. Good luck.

On edit; be sure the screws are not so big that they are tight in the holes, and don't over tighten. The plastic will expand/contract, and it needs room around the screws. Also, the plastic at almost every hole had small cracks going out, indicating they were over tightened at the factory. I measured mine from the top. You should be able to tell where the edges are. You could be slightly bigger, and would probably work.

Ask on the Jayco forum, lots of info. I replaced mine on my Jayco Octane just last month (it had cracks). Pretty simple, hardest part removing old caulk. I'd use a aftermarket replacement, much sturdier than the OEM one. I just went on top and measured it. Found a identical size upgrade at RVUpgrade.com.
