The covers are easy to replace, but there are similar size ones that attach differently. Pay attention to how yours goes up and clips on. Then, measure.
If it is a true emergency exit, it will probably be larger than a standard 14x14 opening.

Need some help from the community. We have a 1998 Lance SquireLite that we’ve been working on. After 25 years, it’s time to replace the cover on the emergency exit over the bed. The old cover is very brittle and now has small cracks that leak. We caught this in time with our recent rain. And climbing into a wet bed after a rain shower is no fun ![[emoticon]](http://www.coastresorts.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/eek.gif "eek")
Does anyone have any tricks for easy cover replacement? Is it pretty much the same as the smaller 14 inch roof vents? Unscrew the opening crank assembly so you can slide the end off of the crossbar, go on the roof and open the lid to 90 degrees and slide the cover off.
The crossbar on the replacement cover is not installed. Hope we can install the crossbar and weather strip in the cover while it’s on the bench. Then we can take the cover up on the roof, slide it into place, and reassemble the crank assembly. Found dozens of videos for replacing the entire assembly (frame and all in the roof cutout) but not just replacing the cover.
Thought it would be better to ask for help than to make things worse. So any help is much appreciated!
