Arrow Interior light clips- lower door panels

Hey, anyone else having problems with the clips that hold the interior lights in the lower door panels? A few of the clips are broken, and the lights tend to fall out.

Never had that problem, but see if you can buy or exchange your broken ones with methodmf's.

Oh, actually, it's the pieces in the door panel that are broken. The things the lights clip to.

I see, you could try to fix it yourself with a piece of plastic and some epoxy glue. Shouldn't be too difficult at all.

Yeah, thought about doing that. Just lazy.. My interior needs cleaning pretty badly too.

Just wondering if this is a common problem w/ the SC's.

My driver side light fell off about a week ago. I tried pushing it back in with no luck. I'm gonna try and fix it on Wed. without epoxy or silicon. I'll let you know what happens.

Geeze, I can't believe this problem is so pronounced in our cars! I haven't heard of it until today. Just curious, but are you guys breaking the clips when forcing the light fixture out, because I've broken a clip on the passenger power window controller doing the same thing .

Thumbs up

Use PVC pipe glue works great. Wait 24 hours before you put the light back in.
