Dome light
Any tips to remove dome light cover for W211 E63? I guess we need to use a flat screwdriver to remove it but what is the proper way to do it? I don't want to brake it. Thanks.

Thanks, I just bought a a set in ebay for 5 bucks. Hopefully it will make the job easier. I need to remove the dome light cover so I can use spay adhesive to glue to sagging headliner.

But yes, you are on the right path, just pry it out. Mine was pretty damn hard to take out on my E500, i had to put so much pressure on it that once it came out, it flew out and ripped the flat wire connector. Slow and steady pressure and keep a hand under the light once it gives. Repairing the flat wire connection was a major PIA.

There are 2 tabs about 2 inches apart on the button side facing the rear of the car. Push in and then pry down with 2 of the tools you bought and it will pop out . Be careful and good luck!!!

Thanks to the tips, I had no problem to remove the lights but there was not enough space to spay and the spay was no strong enough to reach the rear window side. This problem needs to be handle by the professional. Oh well, I did give it a try. I was quoted to replace to the whole headliner for $300 by a mobile service. Thanks again.

Sounds like the older GM headliners. Material coming loose from the foam backing. But there was no way to put it back properly.
The next hurdle will be getting it out of the car without breaking it. I've read over some other threads on it.
