Did she know what translucent was? Here's a pic of mine that I posted the link for above just before sunset. Looks translucent to me.

I am waiting for a call back from Escape but it looks like mine might not be made by Heng's. Do any of the rest of you have the translucent cover or is mine unique?
I suspect that it is semantics. I would call mine translucent as well, but the Heng web site calls it white. Part number 31121-C2 for a 13" X 20" opening.

Arnie, we apparently disagree on the part number. I actually ordered a second lid because they apparently have a penchant for cracking. I have it sitting in the den and my number is 90007-C1. Perhaps they have made changes (C-2).

Hmmm. When I looked on their website, the 31121-C2 was the only one listed for a 13" X 20"
Opening. I did not see 90007-C1 but perhaps that is a replacement part number.

I think the 31121 is the entire hatch and the 90007 is the cover

Correct, the 90007-C1 is just the 13x20 lid.

Having trouble installing new escape hatch

Removed old hatch - finally discovered you need to take off the 2 metal caps that hold the metal strip which runs down the middle of the cover - then you can release that metal strip and get the handle off - maybe it was obvious to others

Anyways, I am having trouble securing the new cover with the 2 screws - the "C" channels keep coming apart - Any hints? Thanks.

what do you mean by " the C channels keep coming apart"? All you are doing is putting an over size screw in the ends to keep it from sliding off the track. Maybe you should post a picture of what you mean.

I was doing it wrong (forgot to slide one channel over the other!) and was trying to hold the channels together with the screw. Took it all apart, did it correctly and it is all good. Thanks for the willingness to help.

All good information on front hatch replacement. I just replaced mine on my 2014 5.0 and it's a good fit. But I have a problem I can't seem to diagnose, let alone solve. I'm getting a small leak from the hatch assembly in the INTERIOR! I know my new hatch is sealed correctly, but this leak (towards the front of the trailer) has me baffled. Any suggestions?
