Our Heiki Roof Light hasn’t been cleaned since we took delivery of our Swift Caravan back in 2015. It’s absolutely filthy and there is very little light penetrating into the bathroom.

With the right tools, it’s a very simple job to remove / deep clean and the results are outstanding.

You can see plenty of videos on Youtube but some of them are painfully slow!

First, make sure you have a set of long reach Torx keys / wrenches. This set cost me nine quid from Screwfix.

How to remove the roof light:

• Raise the roof light into the up / open position.
• Using the Torx 15, unscrew the 4 screws in the handles of the roof light.
• The handle stems then pull off their spindles (pull them gently inwards).
• Once all stems are free, place the roof light to one side on the roof and retrieve it with a ladder
• The light can now be separated unto it’s two components – the outer cover and the inner vent. For this you need the Torx 25 key. Once all 4 screws have been removed, the plastic can be thoroughly cleaned with washing-up liquid and a splash of bleach.

Assembly is the above in reverse. The result is outstanding; shame I forgot to take a before picture!!
