They extend about 4.5", which looks to be a little less than the awning above them.
They mount with 8 screws and you will seal around them with silicone. No worries! They won't fall off!

Those skylights are made out of fairly thin material and become brittle over time.
It's a good idea to check those, since you may not notice that you have a problem until it's too late!

As a follow up, I was able to "unstick" the valve from the outside without any disassembly. I stuck a small screwdriver in and with moderate pressure it released.

I may have to persuade that fitting with a screwdriver or some pliers!
The issue is with the female fitting on the spay port outlet, which seems to have the legs crossed, so to speak!

I know this is an older thread, but I have a follow up question.
I had been unable to attach the hose with the quick connect fitting.
Does the water need to be on to do it? Does it need pressure?
