Roof light removal

Hi all, I've got a 75 Westy that some previous owner has stuck a roof light on (see pic). Anyone got any good ideas on how to remove it and ensure the repair is waterproof?
Thanks in advance

Guess the only way to handle that would be to remove it, clean the area around the hole and re fiberglass from both inside and out. Sand flat, prime, then re paint. Sounds simple when you say it fast. But I'd be more temped to keep it. Check around RV supplies shops for a suitable NON leaking replacement and refit a new one. They have some with two way fans that can draw hot air out or bring cool air in, they look great as well. I mean after all the holes already there!

 

why remove it,looks like it should be there

 

Thanks for the replies. It doesn't leak, I just never use and don't like it aesthetically.

 

When you do remove it can i have it
The one on my roof looks like a teenagers zit

 

Check it's not been put in to vent the fridge, mine was!

I'll post some pics of how I sorted mine tomorrow.

 

Thanks Moons, much appreciated

 

be aware once removed you will find using the periscope a problem for spy ing on the enemy and bad smells can be a problem too
