I removed mine a few years ago when I retrofitted the alarm and had to replace the light frame.
On the retrofit instructions it doesnt explain how to remove it!However,from what I can remember,the light frame is just clipped in,so you have to evenly pull it down from one end until it unclips. Last edited by powers1; 11-16-2009 at 06:28 PM.

I have tried pulling on it, but it seems to be held up there with more than clips.

Also, do a search on 'leak' and 'center console' or something like that... I seem to remember a few posts with instructions on how to remove this.

Just to clarify, I am not talking about just the light (I have removed this before), but I am asking about the whole surround.

I just did a couple of quick searches but nothing available. Surely somebody has removed the middle roof light fitting before.

Once you remove the light,you will see a philips screw on the rear.Remove this and then just press the sides on the inside,inwards and down and you will separate the 2 parts.You dont need to apply too much force and they will separate quite easily ,so the risk of breaking the tabs is minimal. The first picture shows the lights tabs and you need to gentle pry the lamp with small screwdriver on a cloth and force it down... Hope you get it sorted.
