Are you wanting to remove your pop up, or put a glass sunroof in your pop up?

Sorry you have hole in the top.  I have a roof vent in mine and I hate it.  Twice in the last year hail has fractured the plastic cover and leaked.  I've had to fiberglass it over most recently two weeks ago.  The seal has leaked due to the irregular roof ridges in the top.  I've rechaulked it with success but for how long.  My advice is the smaller the better.  If you go with a roof vent/crank up type find one with a metal top instead of plastic.
