I can not help but also would like to have a go but may wait till you have tried it first.
At a guess, about the same as fitting a cat flap.

Why would you want to fit a cat flap in the roof????
If you are thinking in terms of a Mini Heki, check this out www.1carpc.co.uk/wcdr/mini-heki-install.htm
If it's a full size heki, good luck! You are braver than me! Seen something somewhere about someone being quoted nearly £1000 to have one fitted. Guess you would have to have support arround edges tied back into original structure. As I say, braver than me.

thanks for the link paul, think i`ll just replace the old rooflight with some new heki. last thing i want is to cut the roof and things go bad.
Easy to do. Before you order one measure your roof thickness as there are 2 sizes of Heki (too accommadate the thickness of the roof.)
Remove old rooflight bedding mastic might be tough but sliding a warmer pallet knife between rooflight and the van will help.
Make sure you remove all old mastic and clean with a solvent to remove grease etc.
I used the pre made non setting mastic strips, dont use slicone mastic as this sets,fit Heki and tighten the screws equally as you go to make sure it sits square.
