overhead compartment

i believe someone may have already posted something on this so point me in the right direction or at least help me out.... please.....

Only thing i can tell you is that once it comes out, it's not going back. I haven't heard of anyone successfully removing it without breaking the clips that hold it in place.

try SEARCH button

pull.....HARD

More info

if ur talkin about the dome light, not that hard
if ya have a clip removal tool no prob
remove the dome light cover
go from the headliner to the dome light it`s self
carefully twist and pull with the clip tool you will break the clips but not the dome light
it`s so simple a monkey can do it...lol.....j/k

If you're talking about the dome light just leave it alone. It's next to impossible to get it back right

not the dome light, i already removed and painted it.... what i'm needing is the compartment.... by windshield... all i keep hearing is that it'll break when trying to remove..... where there's a will there's a way.... there has to be a way to remove it without breaking it...... it's gotta be

[j{}n]

i tried on 3 different junkyard cars. they all broke

I havn't done it yet but I figured if you pulled the headliner out than you could get the clips fron the top

Your best bet would be to go to the dealership and order a new one. That way, once you break the original one out, you have a replacement. I doubt it cost that much.

after considering all the comments i'm going to change direction and go a different route... of course i wanted to take it off to paint it, but know i'll just make a template and hand paint an olds logo on it.... thanks for all the info!

OK closed this one. Any other info on this please post in Voodosoup's thread here:
