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

Check the skylight is not stuck to the rubber seal ,

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

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

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.)

I used the same product which did not work. C'est La Vie

Same here, I have g9ne back to silicone spray

Same here , use it on sponge door seals ok but the seal around the skylight still stuck , finger a lot cheaper

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 ,
