1. Slide a thin blade between the deco ring and the aluminum frame, along the outer glass layer.
2. Cut the silicone seal around the entire perimeter of the skylight.
3. Pry off the deco ring cover from the deco ring.
4. Carefully spread the deco ring slightly and remove it from the frame.
5. Cut the silicone holding the glass into the unit and remove the glass unit. Be careful not to damage the glass gasket. However, if the gasket does become damaged, another gasket and wick cord has been provided.
6. Remove as much of the remaining silicone as possible from the frame, deco ring and deco ring cover.
7. If the gasket and wick do become damaged, cut the old wick cord and remove old wick, glass gasket, and any staples.
8. Place the new gasket in the same position as the one that was removed. Locate the wick holes in the frame at the down side of the skylight.
9. Thread the wick through the hole in the frame. Place a double knot in the outside end of each wick cord, and pull the wick cord until the knot contacts the outside of the frame, with the wick properly stretched across the bottom. Cut off any excess wick cord.
10. Using the brush supplied, apply a coating of primer to the top inside area of the aluminum frame, and let it dry (about 5 minutes).
11. Install the replacement glass making sure it is property seated in the gasket.
12. Apply a new bead of silicone around the entire perimeter of the glass unit filling the gap between the frame, glass gasket, and the glass unit.
13. Carefully replace the deco ring around the perimeter of the frame. Be sure that the deco ring ledge is properly positioned to engage the frame.
14. Replace the deco ring cover by engaging the bottom side first, then lowering the top side into position. You may need to tap the cover back onto the deco ring using a mallet. Be careful not to hit the glass.
15. Once all parts are replaced properly, remove any excess silicone carefully, being sure not to disturb the deco ring or cover until the silicone has had time to cure (about 24 hours).
