Overhead Compartment

[tenny]

I've noticed on here that some aleros have an overhead compartment, mine does not has anyone added this? what all is involved? does the headliner need to be removed?

You don't need it. People hyate them because there a PITA to take down.

[tenny]

why would i wnat to take it down? my sunglasses would fit perfect in there haha

[b-spot]

Do you have a sunroof tenny? I can't speak for 2004's but it used to be you either had a sunroof with a switch there, or a cubby for your sunglasses.

sunglasses do fit in there perfectly...mine do...too bad one of the clips holding in one side is broken...so the back right side is kind of loose <_<

[tenny]

so anyone know what has to be done to install it?

Sure I will send you mine and you send me a sunroof. Fair trade. Nah but I do want to keep my compartment and still get an aftermarket sunroof with switch in the console or dash.

Damn, I have neither.... <_<

I thought someone had said on here that the newer the Alero more features were taken off? I have the overhead and the map lights under the rearview mirror. I think the 2002 or 2003 don't have the map lights. I know some people could care less but they are convient

I have 99 GLS and everything but Sunroof...Which I am getting custom anyways

i have heard that before too. try going to a junk/salvage yard to look for one, i think thats your best bet.

btw, i find it quite convenient to clip my cell phone to the lip of that compartment :thumbsup:

I have a 2004 GL and I dont have the compartment or a sunroof. I also dont have any lights on the mirror itself... friggin GM :pissed:

anyone have a pic of the headliner with this piece removed? I take it there must be holes in the headliner, so i'd probably have to cut my headliner to mount this. :pissed: It's only 10 bucks on gm parts direct, I got the part number off of grandamgt.com
