Default Front Map Light/Sunglass Holder Removal

Hi guys,

I tried to figure it out myself, but I have no idea how to remove the above. I can see two black clips (one front, one back), and two screws (above the map light unit) that I can't undo because there's not enough room between them and the roof. Help?!

so taking the lights out is easy, you just push them out and undo th plug
as for the rest of it, if i remember correctly it is actually fixed to the roof lining - you can feel more once you've got the lights out.

You need to remove the sun visors and pillar trims and drop the roof lining to undo the screws. Don't kink the lining as its moulded and will be marked. There is a thread on how to remove the lining with pictures in the technical documents.

Awesome, thanks guys, i figured I'd have to pull the roof lining down after taking the lights out. Bit annoying but should be fun haha.

Cheers.

The way to do it is you have to drop the whole roof lining down say a foot.
there are 4 screws that you have to undo then the sunglass case holder and 2 map reading light pop out
