Dome Light Cluster Removal

Could someone please tell me how to remove the dome light cluster on a '96 W202? I think that I may have some issues with the temperature sensor.

I can remove the lenses, but not the plastic fascia on the housing.

Thanks!

I'd like to know too. I'm trying to change out my rear view mirror.

To remove the mirror, grab the post and pull straight down. Be careful, as it takes quite a lot of force. To replace it, there are a couple of spring-loaded pins, one of which will need to be compressed to get the mirror back in place. I used a screwdriver and a lot of brute force.

To answer my own question, I finally said to heck with it and grabbed the rear edge of the dome light assembly (after having removed the lenses) and gave it a hard pull. It came right out.
