Topic: interior light covers Posted: 13 Jul 2017 at 5:35pm |
2015 model 178: I cannot seem to figure out how to take off the plastic lens on the light fixtures to clean the dead bugs out. Any hints? Thanks

Yes, place a pry device (screwdriver) close to center of lens nearest switch, pry lens to outside, if you look closely you will see the locking nubs move outward. Once loose you can work it off. Be gentle and careful.

I just grab the outside with my fingers, and gently press near the center with both thumbs, and the cover comes right off. No tools required (unless fingers count as tools).

Hey Annie, + 1 to GlueGuy, but I can't do that with arthritis, and mine are tight. If you have the rectangle lights they need to move off center to edge of light. Good luck. You'll figure it out.

If Optronics LED interior light, squeeze, no tools needed. If have trouble, do internet search to see how/where to squeeze.
