Rugged gusty wind a couple of nights ago decided to take one of the hatches off. I am not sure re model etc so am asking here if someone can identify from these pics.
Agree with Bas + Eve. The hatch looks like the Heki that I had to replace on my van. (The 'U' bar in the third photo broke in half allowing it to drop out of the locking notches. The hatch then flew off in a strong wind.)
Note that as well as complete hatches sold by Caravan Plus they have a range of spare parts - you may be able to buy just the part needed to repair your hatch.
If you are interested, I have done a simple mod to stop that sort of thing happening (again). I can let you in on the design, but don't tell anyone else!

The mod consists of two pairs of velcro straps, each hook and loop about 240mm long, each pair sewn together, a double seam so a plastic tie will pass through. The hatch frame has vent holes, if you pick no's 5 & 6 holes from each end, the plastic tie will pass through it and attach the strap. When the hatch is opened, the velcro will look the lever into the indent, and as long as the lever stays in the indent, the hatch will stay put. We have used this for about 5 years full time on the road, and not had further problems. of course the hatch is locked closed when traveling. PS this is just between you and me!
