Removal is easy, but I can't get the replacement to stay in, no matter how hard I try or how hard I push after replacing the headliner. Any suggestions?
@8888ollie, I used velcro (my 2 clips broke). Used the same adhesive spray on the velcro as for the headliner. Make sure both non-velcro surfaces are glued & dried tacky before abutting them. Has held for 5 months in hot/humid climate. My new headliner was thicker than the old one which made for a greater success story.
my clips -- as well as my sister's -- broke when re-installing the dome light after headliner repleacement. by the looks of the comments, we're not alone. so annoying!
LOL, on my saturn there was a giant hole where this light used to be, untill i was all jacked up on 5 hour energy so i had to rewire the connector cuz the little black wire in the middle came out of that clip, it sucked
My clips broke as well during the re-install. After 14 years, the plastic was too brittle. I initially J-B Welded it back together, but it would break again in a different spot. I finally gave up and just zip-tied it to that plastic mount above the headliner. (I've been trying to post a photo, but youtube keeps rejecting my comments with links)
Hey rich, I have a question for you. My dome light is broken, the 2 clips are broken. When the dome light housing falls out, the flate white piece on the roof is like stapled on there. Anyway I can replace that? If so, is it hard? Thanks so much for your help rich!
If the dome light clips are broken, just replace it (junk yard,etc) and if the housing to hold up the dome light is broken, then i dunno what to say, you could use small wood screws and screw it in, then put the face plate over.
Hi Rich! Great clip as usual. By the way, what bulb can I use to replace the existing bulb? I would like to order an LED bulb if I can. Thanks!
