Hi,

I want to get at me remote locking sensor, what's the best way of dropping the surround?

Unscrew the sun visors each end by undoing the self tappers (phillips or torx )and remove them.

Carefully unclip the central interior light lens and there are two larger self tappers (phillips or torx) and two machine screws underneath, I think with an 8mm hex head.

If the lens breaks don't worry too much you can still buy replacements. The bulb holder may also be very brittle or cracked from heat.

It should all come down nicely them.

Don't re-tighten too much when re-fitting. All prone to breaking and stripping.

Depending on where the earth wire is attached, dissconnect battery, or remove fuse for the interior light first, as all exposed metal work in the light fitting, that "Z" shaped piece in the middle for instance, is live all the time, appart from the earth strap, untill you remove the connectors from behind the fitting, even with the switch in the off position :wink:
