I’ve searched the owner’s manual and checked various forums and I can’t find anything that can help. All I want to do is replace the dome light bulb, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to remove the damn cover! I am holding off on my usual approach: force it until it breaks. Any mechanic dopers here? xo,
