Dome Light Replacement

[andyems]

Can someone on here please tell me how to remove the console that houses the dome lights in a '07 GMT900 Silverado? I have a few of the trim snaps loose but I still can't get the overhead console loose. I'm am pulling to the point that the plastic is popping, so I stopped. I don't want to break a $100 piece of trim to replace a .50 bulb. Any ideas how to get it loose?

pop the lenses out for the lights and remove the two screws that holds it in

Thanks, that was the trick. Looked to me like the clear part was glued to the console piece, so I tried taking it all out at once. Don't seemed to have damaged it though. The sad part is, I tried calling two different dealers. The first one said they had no idea because they didn't have one in the shop they could look at. Asked me to come by and let them see it and they might be able to figure it out. Called the second dealer in my area and they told me to just keep pulling on it, it would come eventually. I specifically asked them if there were screws that I needed to take out, and they said there wasn't any screws, just a few hard to break loose clips. Told me good luck and to try and not break it.

 

Thanks again for the help.
