    I'm trying to dismount the light panel and found these plastic buttons under the clear light panel and got them out.

    Too I found 2 screws "under" the box for my glasses ... but still the whole panel will not come off - the end towards the front is still stuck - what do I miss here ?

    You got any pics of the issues or areas?

    Pics always get a good response and help us out to visualize the issues and then share our experience:).

    Maybe try that route and see if others chime in ;).

    Good luck and keep us posted (y).

    Its been some time since I pulled mine down but I seem to recall it snaps into the roof as well as the screws. Just pull down on it.

    You didn't need to remove the "buttons" under the lens. Just the 2 screws inside the sunglass holder and yank. There are two push-in studs at the leading edge and two at the trailing edge. If your overhead console has never been down before, they can be awfully tight. By about the third time you take it down, they're not so tight.

    Sorry for my late reaction ... I got no message on your reply - but thx anyway !

    I finally got it out - and as you says 2 push-studs for and back and 2 screws in the sunglass holder.

    Anyone here knows the RAL color code for the "gray" plastic ?

    It can NOT be judged from the photo here - take a look at ebay ... there are many different variations of the "gray" color" on that part. My guess is RAL 7040.
