  1. Click to Enlarge 47.24 KB This shows the place that is not closed off by the lid when it closes.
  2. Not sure what 2:12 is in degrees but I have been told the VS series were to be installed at 14 degrees or more but I have since seen mention of these older versions needing 18 degrees or more. I think this is a contributing factor but at any slope with these wide open holes and wind will drive rain right under and behind the lid flap and agains the seal which is not bullet proof. FYI the upper windows are at 12 degrees and dont leak, the lower windows being further down the curve are at 14 degrees and do leak?
  3. And just a note that the holes are rectangular each side of the lip coming down from the lid and are 1" wide and 2" high so they cant be caulked, there apears to be a flashing missing.
  4. I know at soem point there will be new windows but there are 10 so it is not a cheap upgrade. Since they dont all leak I will try to get another few years. I agree there are many things about this install that is questionable, slope, height of curb etc. I believe it is not actualy on a curb but a deck mount shimed to fit on the curve hence the low profile. I am curious how this model of window should look, if there is a peice missing or what. I would like to see a brochure or picture of one installed or just what comes with the original window - baically any clues as too how this should look if installed per Velux instructions. I have email Velux to see if they will give me any clues, unfortunately i cant find any legacy data on their site. Anyway thanks, if anyone out there has a deck mount VS4 or VS6 that I can see a picture it would help I think.

  6. I am new member so that could be the issue. It tells me i cannot upload because I am not logged in but I am. Tried a couple of times with no luck. I will try to post to Flickr.
  7. I have 10 Velux electric venting skylings on my house that were installed when the house was built 17 years ago. The roof is curved with a membrane. One or two of the windows leak enough to damage the drywall lining. I have resealed all the glass and tested it so I know there is no leaking there. Here is the weird issue. The bottom of the windows have openings at each side and visible wood. I have searched the web but cannot find any pictures or information on these old windows. It looks like somethign is missing but it is missing on all 10 windows? Does anyone have any idea how this should have been closed off, it is not obvious how that would be done. I cant post a picture for some reason. many thanks
