Skylight was $129, actuator $24. Yes, it's the mechanism for raising and
lowering the skylight. I believe the Bus Depot has lower prices for these
items plus many others on your list. Their web site is www.busdepot.com, or
e-mail to list@busdepot.com. Also, contact Sorin Bejenaru at
103164.3373@compuserve.com for used items--he buys used Westies from
insurance companies and sells the pieces. I bought a couple of small items
from him and he was very reasonable and prompt.
