How to Install Dometic Micro Heki Rooflight Fiat Ducato Camper/Citroen Relay/Peugeot Boxer/ Skylight

In this video I install a Dometic Mirco Heki Rooflight (skylight). This is pretty similar to the Dometic Heki Mini that I previously installed. The micro measures 280x280mm as opposed to the mini which measures 400x400mm.
The dometic Heki Mini Skylight (Rooflight) is great for installing inside bathroom compartments and offer ventilation as well as additional natural light.
I used mastic sealant tape and then Sikaflex 522 to seal the rooflight to the roof.
This is video is a full how to guide for installation.

I bought my roof light from Jacksons leisure. You have to buy the installation kit, (trim ring extension piece, brackets & screws separately) as it depends on the thickness of your roof.
The rooflight I installed was without forced ventilation (with forced ventilation is for caravans).
Thanks for watching.

Just what I needed, about to order a micro Heki for my Relay and wondered about the fixing kit so the info of 43mm really helped. Should be enough over the bed. Thanks

Thanks for this video. It shows a lot of the details I didn't fully grasp. It was nice to see how the extension frame fits in as I didn't really understand how it interfaced with the ceiling.
I'm about to fit one of these to my new shape Crafter. The roof has ridge lines as well, so like your idea of the tape buildup.
In a somewhat unrelated comment, I like how you have ply-stripped the roof beams. I'm pinching this idea too!

It will be interesting to see what you do with the roof if you plan to do a video since it looks like it will be different to the ply and batten sections ripped out from the previous thin profile version and you already have a thicker floor.

I'd rather use Sikaflex 710

Nice work on this one. Quick one as we’re about to fit one of our own and could t work it out. What’s the purpose of the wooden frame here as you’re not screwing down through the roof into it to pull it tight?

[@sampayne6318]

The wooden frame effectively acts as a spacer to stop you squishing your roof (insulation) when you screw the exterior part of the roof light to the interior frame. It also gives your roof a bit more rigidity around the hole that you've cut. Cheers!

@@sampayne6318 amazing cheers

Hey there! I have a very annoying problem: I bought the Micro Heki and before installing it, I already mounted the inner frame with fly net (because I couldn't wait to see how it looks), which was really stupid because now I can't get it off. Is there a way to take it back out?

HI Sam, thx for the video. How are you after that year with the ductape adaption of the roof? Would you stil reccomend this? and why do you write that forced ventilation is just for caravans? were thinking to get one with forced ventialation for our ducato since we bring a lot of humidity inside due to sports and wet dog....

[@sampayne6318]

Hi. Forced ventilation is not recommended for van conversions as the ventilation holes can whistle as you drive along (not a issue for a caravan as you're not in it when it's moving). Hope this helps. Cheers

@@sampayne6318 thanks for the reply! will do my installation of a micro and mini heki next week. found it really helpful how you adapted the roof with the butil sealing tape. Would you do anything different now after your year of testing?

[@DecoD71]

I just don't understand why everyone uses timber to frame it. I got a different brand and theres no mention of making a frame in the instructions. I'm just afraid to cut my hole out and not know the depth of timber frame to make😂

[@hannevb5983]

Every model is made for a certain roof thickness. E.g. 23-60mm. So you need to make a frame to create that thickness, the rooflight sandwiches the wood together. At least that's how I understand it😅

[@DecoD71]

​@@hannevb5983 Ye I've mine done now a while. Took a bit of thinking lol.. in basically needs to match up with your own ceiling what ever depth that may be
