Drafty roof light...

[RichardB]

Hi. My 115 has a Midi Heki Rooflight like the picture. It is drafty when it’s closed if it is windy outside. I seem to recall seeing an post somewhere that you can add rubber round it to create a better seal. Has anyone done this and what did you use?
Thanks
Richard

The seal goes in the internal channel and you can by Heki spares for the job..... I googled this one but loads of suppliers out there

I use draft excluder foam tape works a treat. Ebay or Amazon or do as suggested and buy the replacement one that may be missing the draft one is a lot thicker of course

I just like the ventilation, can’t you get a caravan one that doesn’t do this or did I read something else?

Mine was missing from rear when we bought the van dealer said it wasn,t there as left out to allow ventilation
They wouldn,t fit one but gave me one

It took a couple of weeks to arrive and need superglue to fit.

I wondered about it being excluded for ventilation as there was no evidence of one being there in the past but i have a roof vent two feet from the skylight.
