outer tops of roof lights 1998 Duetto
Hi there everyone, during last night's hail storm the outer tops of the two large roof lights have been broken on my 1998 Duetto. I have covered them with clear duct tape so as to stop any rain coming in[luckily no rain in during last night]. Do any of you know if they can be replaced? and if so where can I get them?
Many thanks.

They're probably MPK vents, you can buy the 'domes' separately.
We just threw away two almost brand new ones.

They are easy, except that they changed the design slightly.
I don't know when, but our original van was 1995 and, when I bought some domes about 4 years ago, the handle catches that go under the frame were slightly different.
I modified them to fit the old frames by filing a little section off the handle:
Not the easiest picture to grasp, but this is how the handle fits under the original MPK frame:
Also, the old domes had an external plastic nut to fix the handle to, which would crack the dome and make it leak.
The new ones have a nut which is part of the moulding and can't leak as easily.
