WANTED Roof air vent/ light

This is mine and clearly I'm missing something as it won't stay up or lock down ? If you've got it can I have it please?

 

should there be some hinge controlled brackets which are controlled by a turning of a wing nut or little handle, we have two in ours but both are different to yours I have the top of a large skylight but that's about it, nothing else

 

Yep, but I don't know what it's supposed to look like. On speaking with a pop top canvas guy the other day, he reckons I've got a Holdsworth roof?! I dunno?!

 

if you measure up the aperture you may be able to fit one of these....it's called a Mini Heiki...fitted one in my Devon pop top and it is fantastic...double glazed, comes with a mosi screen and blackout roller blind...dead easy to fit/use....money well spent IMO

 

Mmmnnnnn, nice but a hundred quid!?

 

@vanorak, might be a silly question but which way round do you have this on the roof?

 

Lardy you have the opening facing the rear (as shown in pic), but suppose you could have it facing the front.

 

Hinge side forwards in case you forget to shut it?

 

Thanks Might have a measure up and replace what I've got.

 

Lardy. It looks like the rope is too loose !!!

 

Thanks

 

Shop around....it's the best £80 you'll spend...unless you like cheap whores
at the end of the day, you could always use a piece of wood to wedge your rooflight open, or fit a telescopic cupboard stay or whatever...would be much cheaper ....
my reasoning for buying this over a less expensive one was that I needed a vent that lets as much light in as poss, without being huge, doesn't leak, can be left open at night without letting mozzies in and I could stand up, put my head through it and play tank commanders (when the mood takes me) This satisfied all the above criteria... simplicity to open/close plus you can fit an extractor fan in should you wish....Have I sold you yet? Was it the Tank Commander potential?

 

Just measured the square hole for the roof light and its 370mm?!
All the ones I can find are 400mm?? Anyone any ideas what type my roof is?

 

Lardy, I've got the vent i took out of my own van in the garage. Pretty sure it is for a 40cm aperture. Let me know if you need pics.

 

Have a look here.

Hi, just measured my hole and its 37cm side to side?

 

Bloody hell that sounds horrific lol!

 

I suppose I could always jigsaw the extra out??

 

Do you measure these from left to right or from top left to bottom right (I.e diagonal)
