Removing the map lights
I know this doesn't directly apply to the head unit, but does anyone know how to remove the map light console from the headliner without damaging it or the headliner? I want to take it down, modify slightly and put it back. I don't see any screws holding it in place.

Help?

I went to the Ford dealer today and asked them how to take the map light console down from the roof. They told me they did not know. Amazing.

If you can get it while its out of the shops.... That truck is a bonefide lemon.

2 days ago, brakes went completely out. I blew through a stop sign and hit a car because of... (I HAVE HORRIBLE LUCK... just ask my friends)
Its snapped lug studs 2x and have almost caused me a wreck due to.
The AC compressor went out already....

All of this within 11K. I bought it with 18miles on the clock... And I take amazing care of all my vehicles....
