Can't get the dome light housing off. I have no idea how this thing comes off. I have taken off everything else (except for the headliner obviously.

Any help would be very useful (!) The reason I am tearing down the interior is for some customizing and to save the carpet from the painters!

 

Take off the lens, then there is only 1 screw or bolt that you have to take out.Also hold onto the headliner while unscrewing, you dont want the liner snapping in half

 

Nah dude, there's 2 little metal clips on the studs up there. Use some small screwdrivers or pliers to get them off.

 

Well, I've already completely removed the interior in my 91. It was held on with rivets. Took some needle-nose pliers and yanked them out.

 

Screws/Clips/Rivets I'll take a look today. Mine is an '87 so I am think ing that it is the same as the 92 interoir. I'll get back to you guys later.

 

It's definitely clips. It should have the small circular push type clips w/small teeth on them. Just use a small needle nose on them and pull them right off--usually they can't be re-used.

 

I see them. They are little o-clips attached to a stud. How do I put it back on if the clips cant be reused?

 

You can try to be careful--you might be able to re-use--or they sell them in the help section at the parts store.

 

You can re-use the clips but I'd suggest getting new ones also. I just replaced my headliner and while I thought the old clips were still good I bought a 5 pack for a whopping $1.85. When I put the new ones on I couldn't believe how tight they were. The old ones I could put on with finger strength, the new ones required pliers.

 

The headliner material I bought at Auto Zone came with new clips.

:hail:new clips

:hail:IROC-Z

 

My dome light stuff has 2 screws.. i dont know how to get it off tho because theres somehting else holding it on besides those

 

You have to slide it forward. I got really mad when I got to that point that I riped the lether cell phone holder thing off trying to find what was holding it. Just push it forward or back ward and it will come off.

 

puill the 2 rivits out...they arent easy to out, and it should come right down...takes maybe 2 mins to do, u can reattach it with with 1" drywall screws

 

lol, dont you hate getting stuck on things that turn out to be soo simple?
