My 4 seasons leaks. I have timber damage and plywood damage. I read via google that the top panel can be removed on some older models by remvong the poprivets in the corners. Min is a newer model and doesnt hav ethe po rovets. There does look like there may be something in the corners (from underneath) that could be screws but there is a cover (i think its a cover) over them. Has anyone had success in removing the top. I would like to be able to so that I can then poke my head up from inside the caravan ro remove sealant and screws on the roof rather than perching my 66 year old frame up a ladder and on the roof.
Any and all assistants is appreciated.
regards
Adrian

Adrian, from the sound of it you have an older style. I cannot locate any videos with instructions
It may be easier to replace the entire unit.
Thanks Possum3
in light of ongoing potential issues with the four seasons, has anyone replaced it completely with a different hatch? Ive googled for similar sized hatches but am coming up blank. 630x630mm seems to be outside what is seen as normal. I am contemplating getting one of htese www.ebay.com.au/itm/304601415160%3AAQAIAAABEN%2FV58dX1C1WEd7DUpxRnTYCbUdc2MVL3HlSKmIF3JpUFURYyxiaa35QVT5McKGJ1bniEyDqypATiQAkgZfSaMTsAtu%2BHehfZkeWmyATwJqPgLEwfbQLhytkn5QKnkBUtO%2Fci%2B1RCw2dDVdY%2F4PgFnr244ddYctr87LhggoJE%2BlHxU8lgKIioERTw2fTscR1eWpS4yI5M8FFZ%2FnEebtWF%2BA%2FaEF%2BMDW8OI0tIyIQfSyR62B5OxJhD32wXAf8bBPRg9E5KAeVhwgWPKcdA63cb149vgkLhyGExGBjThB4K1VdGhi83f3tyFZz1Brw84XpuHvTy2BcHbiAYXpPnqoJjIO7GqWYu2b75m8nsJfEJDvu%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR5i60Ln5Yg
and making the hole bigger to suit.
Thoughts?

Whatever you do, you will have to ensure that the roof is strong enough for new unit to be attached - you may have to build a support frame to screw into.
