Shower Sky Light

[BandJ]

The sky light in our shower is scratched. Is there a spray or paint available that will allow me to re-coat the scrathced area with the same effect....

If the scratch isn't too deep, you can get a plastic polish that works really well. I've used it on everything from motorcycle windshields to plastic headlight lenses. Wel-Mart sells it in their automotive section. I think it's made by Blue Coral. Just keep in mind that it won't work miracles. It's primarily for light "haze-type" scratching.

If it's the part that's painted - Krylon Fusion paint for plastic is GREAT !! Remove the inner bubble and paint the side that faces up. Our previously owned TT was painted on the side facing inside - not a brilliant design !!

Go to a honda dealer they sell scratch remover for there Gold Wing windshields if scrached
And the darn squerls are still watching me shower, who ever thought of that IDEA at Keystone, I cant sleep in late because the light comes in at day brake. you cant put in one of those vent pillows, how about a window shade with a hook on it.

Easy fix for the "peeping squerls" and too much light for sleeping in. Also keeps temp down in hot weather. Take a scrap of the aluminized window reflectors (used for blocking light and sold by tha roll at CW) and cut to size. Edge with duct tape (if you fail to do this, the material rips upon first removal from skylight). Apply self stick hook and loop (VELCRO) bits on the corners and on corresponding corners of shower frame. Apply as needed. Works like a charm, costs next to nothing and now I have probably lost my chance to make a million in the RV accessory industry!!

Great idea about the skylight in the shower area, however, it seems to me Keystone should have put some sort of a "tinted" skylight there during production. I plan on mentioning to them during the factory tour of too much heat and early morning light from that skylight the way it is now.

Friends of ours have a Newmar that has a shade that You can pull across the skylight. I would think it would be a hassle to keep clean with the humidity from the shower.

I plan to make a sunshade for mine also, I bought a cheap windshield protector from Wal-Mart to cut up for the shade, about $5. I am also going to use a piece to make a shade for the entry door.

I do like the clear glass(plastic) in the skylight, unless I am showering mid-day and the sun is blaring in, the shade will fix that though.

NJ Hillbilly,
The skylight shade in a Newmar works great, spent some time in one last week. It has a couple of guides similar to day-nite shades and magnets to hold it closed. Opens and closes easily. Could be a cleaning problem as you say.

Saw one that had a piece of foam cut to the right shape and just tucked up into the skylight. This one was parially see-through and so let in some light. Looked like it worked really well. Especially in the southern states and during storage to keep the UV to a minimum.
