I had the same problem. Huge noise on roof, but no ladder, I pulled over next town and duct taped it to get home. Hard to find a replacement that was tall enough for the inner skylight. I posted a link to my replAcement.

I did see that but that is a low profile system. As I am tall, I need to replace it with the same type that allows more head room. I ended up calling Thor Customer Care and they gave me the part number. Unfortunately, I had to order through an "authorized" dealer which is slow. Part is on the way through and should be here in a couple weeks... Looks like the replacement part is better made than the original on the coach. I appreciate everyone's help! Thanks, Ray

I did not replace the inner skylight, only the outer.
I hope that the replacement is better.

Mine took an acorn from an oak tree sometime during the last week that punched through the UV faded outer dome.
Pictures show the repair progression of "Oh crap, there's a hole in the roof" to
"Fix it with I got at the campground" (ziploc bag and painters tape, got rained on and made it home intact!) to
"Fix it better at home" (slapped a patch of eternabond on there, rest of the roll now lives in the coach for future emergencies)
and now I'm at "Replace it someday".

The OEM dome is about 6.5" high although peeking in through the hole punched I can see a solid 1-1.5" between the top of the inner dome and the outer one so it doesn't have to be that tall.

RecPro has one that is a little taller than average at 4.5" but I think it might have too much of a curve near the ends. The OEM inner is a rectangle that sticks straight up so it looks like it'd interfere.

Elk Mountain has a boxier looking one that looks really close but can't tell on the height if it'd be too short still.
https://elkrv.com/collections/outer-...sed-flat-clear
also found another one from them that's on Amazon but not their site. Not sure if it's just a smoke version of the one above
https://smile.amazon.com/Elk-Mountai...dp/B09CV516SP/

Anyone tried any of these specifically and found them to fit/not fit?
I emailed Elk Mountain for a height measurement since that looks most promising.

@Ray&ReginaD would you mind sharing the part number and how much the OEM cover ended up costing? I have a feeling it's more than I want to spend on the problem but not seeing many other aftermarket options.
Worst case I'll live with my redneck patch until it's time to sell, then swap both parts out for a shorter set like others did.

I'm short so replacing the inner skylight with something with less depth is possible.

Anyone had to deal with this issue yet?
Well, we have a different rig, but did change the skylight, inner and outer at same time.
The original was tall, the outer had cracked for some reason, sun baking?
Taking measurements, went to CamperWorld, and had to order both, because we could only get the short version at that time.
Remove, scrape old goop off, apply new goop sealer, clean mess after install, and voilah!

I received a reply from Elk Mountain (actually Tiara RV Sales in Elkhart if anyone wondered or cared) with the correct Thor part numbers for the tall domes:
0352432 for the outer dome, 14x22x7, $120 shipped
It looks a little more aerodynamic and "bubble-y" than the original if that's worth anything.
https://elkrv.com/products/skylight-...ting-gauge-118

0131696 for the inner dome, 14x22x9, $105 shipped
https://elkrv.com/products/skylight-...ting-gauge-125

I tried searching those part numbers and the only other search result was a fellow on this forum having a terrible day after a hailstorm.
