Good Day

Does anybody know how to clean inside roof hatches, can these be taken off and cleaned or is it a replacement job?

many thanks

    Many thanks

    I take it the 4 screws are the ones in the handles?

    i did look at these and expected some sort of high pressure Spring or something to be behind them, which once the screws were out, would never see again!

    Hi Snozzer1, did you manage to take your hatch of, clean it and get it back together again? I need to do mine and wondered if it's easy enough for a novice like me.



    Cheers!
