Roadside fix in storm

[3crispies]

Drove through France in the storm and we always noticed roof light catches were just making contact. The winds were swirling and lifting corners of sky light off the catches. Had to strap it down via gas struts until next aire.
Used some 5ps to space them off, can someone tell me correct name for catches as can not see a make etc and if there is a spacer avaliable. Don't want the weinsberg alleged reputable dealer really bodging it too fit and future leaks as have no faith in the two we have used since purchasing. Funny how these MHs are so expensive and most not all repairers I wouldn't trust servicing my 70s Vw. Beez leisure struggled connecting the kitchen tap !.

I'd expect the make of skylight to be on the clear perspex somewhere,then Google roof light catches

You may be as well just buying, or scrounging a small piece of 4mm thick UPVC strip and making a couple of spacer bars yourself. You may need to get longer fixings though.
I hope that you get sorted.

Get some 8mm diameter silicone tubing. Cut 10mm ong peices and slip over the catch ends.

I've done this to all roof light and window catches and it takes up any 'slack'.

Link below. Can't take any photos as motorhome currently in storage.

As a temporary measure, can you cable tye the struts together near the catch.

They look like standard window catches used on side windows. Not seen them used on a rooflight before.
