Anyone know where I can get a replacement Heki 2 rooflight?

I'm feeling a bit disgusted with myself at the moment.:mad:
I had the rooflight out of the van earlier today to fix a leak. I had spent 45 minutes carefully separating it from the sealing gunge without damaging it.
I put it beside the opening while I was cleaning the remainder of the sealant off the roof when a gust of wind blew the damn thing off on the ground and made bits of it. I think I can repair the frame but the acrylic dome is in five pieces and it's definitely a gonner.
Anyone know where I might find a replacement dome or complete unit (new or secondhand)?
Its a Heki 2 unit that fits into a 960x660 opening. It's a fairly common item from what I read online. Maybe someone dismantling a caravan may be willing to part with one?

Try German ebay.de, search for heki dachluke.

I had similar issue. Mine was the over cab rooflight on an older camper so I ended up doing a permanent close fix using fiber glass matting.

Even used ones make €150-€200 on ebay, more the closer it gets to summer.

These could be a bargain for a new one depending on who bids, factor in parcel motel / parcel wizard for delivery:

Actually on second glance that first 'new' one looks used. Might be worth phoning asking for total price with delivery to ireland +44 1243 377441

I've emailed nrf in italy to see if they have a local supplier, would be very useful if they do as they seem to have replacements for most seitz/dometic windows.

Thanks - that's really kind.

Some sort of positive news here.
I managed to source a new Heki unit from Leisureshop Direct in the UK. They were €125 cheaper than the Irish supplier (who in fairness were ballpark with everyone else) and €100 cheaper than the cheapest in Europe. I paid €500 including shipping and it arrived by courier two days later. They don't seem to stock absolutely every part for every van but I'd recommend having a look if you're stuck.
Moral of the story. If you take out your rooflight and it has gas struts, don't let them open it up while unattended and sitting on the roof. I can still see it rolling tumbleweed-like as it headed over the side of the van. Still, looking on the bright side, if it had hit my wife's new car - it missed it by a miracle - I probably wouldn't be alive to type this.:D:D:D
