Some advice needed on a 206cc interior light removal

Post by 1981gti »

My 206cc has a slight leak through the ariel base i'm going to fix it with some silcone sealent but am having some troubles with removing my interior light. is it around the edge of the interior light lense I need to unclip or around the main big cream trim that the interior light is fixed to. Would really appreciate some advice please? Many Thanks James

Prise out the courtesy light first, and disconnect it from the wiring connector.

Then unclip the light surround from the headlining.

Remove the insulating cap then slacken and remove the nut.

You can then detach the aerial lead and lift the aerial off the roof, complete with its rubber seal.

Let us know how you get on. You probably need a new rubber seal.

Hi
I too have this problem, which is the insulating cap? Ive successfully removed the light section and the plastic trim and can see the metal base of the aerial?

I can't work out what to remove next?

Thanks
