Rear Courtesy Light

Odd Job · 13th June 2021, 11:05

Hi all,

My rear courtesy light has decided to eject the plastic clips and fall out of my roof lining, which I believe is a standard feature.

I was sure that I saw a post with a couple of photo's where someone had modified their broken one and refitted, but I cant seem to find the post.
Can anyone help me out and post a link, or just give a bit of advice on what people have done to refit the broken one?
Many thanks in advance,

Richard

Was this the one? Post #6. That is how I fixed mine - posted recently in a random ‘Facebook hijack’ thread ...

Mine fell out too so I just glued it back in. Been OK for over a year now.----

I bent up two steel strips into Z shapes and glued to light. The shape is such that they fit above headlining and hold the rear of the light in place. You can bend them to ensure secure fit.
