2nd Row Interior Light - Photo Needed

Could one of you kind chaps (and chappesses) post a picture of your 2nd row interior light, please?

I'm not sure if the one on mine is correct. The plastic lens doesn't appear to fit flush with the main body and yet it won't push home any further - it looks as though the reflector part has been packed out from the unit, or fitted wrongly.

The lens only clips on, so you should be able to pull it off & see what the problem is

Thanks; those are perfect!

The lens on mine isn't seated correctly - it stands proud of the body where the buttons are. Unfortunately, I cannot see how the lens could fit any further into the body because the 'silvered' reflector piece (and the buttons) also appear to stand proud on the one edge.

I might mention it to my dealer when I take it in for the few post-sale niggles to be sorted.

Aside from that, any ideas? Would that silvered reflector part come out? "The quality remains long after the price has been forgotten." Henry Royce

Sorted! A bit of thinking and I eased the metal clips out to remove the unit and could then quite clearly see that that lamp part of the unit (as opposed to the redundant A/C bit) wasn't correctly seated. I imagine that a stiff whump with the back of my hand would have pushed it home in situ but I was loathe to do that just in case.

With the unit off the car, I could see where the clips should have been seated and it was just a case of easing them back into the casing. All-in, a five minute job.

I've barely had it a week and already I'm taking it apart! Is this a bad sign?

Nope ... all very normal for a disco owner
