Removal of Map Light Assembly

I did it, and was scared. Reach up nearest the front glass, and pry down with your fingertips to remove the small front piece, two clip hold it in place.

then pry down on the front of the maplight section. Be careful... my passenger side lens flew out and broke (strike one)! This part has 2 pairs of clips. The glass side, front-farthest from you - will pop off, the rear ones - closest to you - are a little tricky. If you tip it down enough, you can see where the second set of clips go in. I used a long screw driver to hold the piece that it attached to in place while I pull down. BE carefull not to push teh screwdriver up against the roof sheet metal, you don't need a pimple on your roof!

Why use the screwdriver? Because there's a piece of thick double-sided foam tape that holds this part tight to the roof...I ripped mine (strike 2)

There's a short wire harness holding the maplight in place.

 

mine broke the same way. I put some clear packing tape on it ad wrapped it up-hardly visible. I'll replace it one of these days.

If you get a new one, please post a part number and price.

 

to clarify, is the map light the clicky lights for the driver and front passenger on the roof?

 

Here is a pdf for removing rearview mirror that happen to tell you how to take off the map light assembly.
