Removal of Dome Lights on 356B

#1 Post by Bob DiCorpo »

Could anyone tell me how to remove the dome light assembly in order to replace a bulb on a 356B? Thank you, Bob

Use a sharp implement to get between the assembly and the headliner and lever it out but do it a little at a time each side. Once it is clear of the headliner get you fingers under the edge and pull it out.
If I had known I would live this long I would have pushed the envelope a little harder.

Thanks David. Sounds easy, but I'm famous for forcing things and breaking them. At least now I can do it right. Bob

Go easy on the side with the switch. That side is longer than the other.
