Skylight
My skylight won’t open on my Broadway EK TB I can see the string or pulley when trying to open or close . Do they come off ? Are they easy to repair
Thank you
Mick

Re: Skylight
As mentioned above about sticking seal, I always run my finger around the seal to loosen it from the frame before trying to open

Re: Skylight
I've just had the same problem and, as Molly and Freelander say, it was the seal which had stuck to the rooflight.

Re: Skylight
Thanks yet again to advice on the Forum the all-knowing PaulMold, I bought a rubber lubricant designed to stop seals sticking in hot weather. I apply it annually. It works. No problem with skylights, for example, in recent heat (although I always assist the roof lights with one hand whilst winding or otherwise opening them.)

Re: Skylight
If it is the remis wind up sky light it is proberbly the wind up mechanism that has broken , if so a new mechanism is available from auto sleeper parts . I tried various lubricants on the seal , only worked for a short time , the problem is the degradation of the rubber seal ,
