Hi all,
Cleaning the van the last couple of days and noticed something I've not seen before.
On the main skylight at the back of the housing are 2 plastic pull out pieces with small holes at the end of them.
Anyone got any idea what these are for?

ThanksĀ 
Steve

So the hooks / plastic lugs fold back flat above the plastic housings below. They are not added on and are part of the overall skylight moulding.

You have a manual lift skylight and the handle can locate on those 2 'ledges', the fold out pieces swing over the bar to hold it in place otherwise a stiff blast of wind would lift it up and possibly break it. I had such a skylight on our Nuevo. Wish we still had it on our Duo instead of the fragile winding mechanism we have now.

Agreed. We had the same on numerous caravans.
