I can't imagine getting rid of that much light, but I guess if you're never inside during the day, I suppose that's fine.
You have a different brand I assume, as some escape hatches, like mine are no lite at all. Plusses and minuses for all of them.
My new aluminum will be cross hatched across the top also.
The biggest plus is that the hinge will no longer be in the way of sealing the mounting flange with the coating. This is on the Henges Elixor brand where the pivot is too close to the deck and flange.
New hinges will have longer arms holding out of the way of the seal coating.
