Having the exact same problem with one of my velux. I sanded them down this summer and varnished them. Hoping it will resolve the problem.

Can I ask how old that Velux is?

Thanks.

You might have a leak which is causing the discolouration....have the flashings & seals checked, they are usually the cause.

Hope this helps.
