It looks like your lid is two pieces of glass with the plasic hinge. If so what I did was slide the back piece of glass out and get plexi the same thickness then cut the plexi to fit around your skimmer. I used a rotozip tool to cut it it took me a couple times to get perfect but plexi glass is pretty cheap.
