    Dome Light Bracket?

    One of my dome lights has been dangling around every since I've bought my car. Is there supposed to be a bracket or something that holds it in place? Because it seems like there's nothing there. And where could I get it?

      The plate that the lights snap into is actually a piece of clear plastic. They can crack if the light is inserted/removed too many times or if it is hit hard. I don't know how to fix it, but you may be able to pull that plate out of a junkyard car and glue it into yours. You will have to remove that corner of the headliner, though.

          You will have to pull down your door gasket and the rear window gasket if its a 2 door with popouts.
