Fitting a Shield Autocare Skylight 500 x 500

My 2014 Ford Transit Mk8 Camper conversion done mostly with 2020 aluminium extrusion, prioritizing a 4 seater dinette with a twin swivel passenger seat, a shower/washroom and toilet, a Murphy bed using a self made aluminium box section frame, side facing rear lounge. With all the highs, lows, successes and failures of a first time self build.

Thanks for this we also didn’t get instructions with our skylight from them

How did you attach the inner bit? The blind?
I'd never buy anything off Shield autocare again. What a useless, arrogant bunch of arseholes they are if you phone up for advice!!

If you mean as a whole with the surround - you need some sort of finished ceiling to attach it to. If you check my later videos, I've done a tongue and groove ceiling, attached a couple of battens to the skylight frame, then screwed the surround to the t&g ceiling. For the purposes of this video, I temporarily screwed the surround to the skylight frame so that it appeared complete.

Although there's nothing wrong with screwing it to your frame as a permanent solution 👍
