was at the jy, looked for A/C hose to fix mine which i found. looked for a tcm, no luck there. got some intake hose from a, *cough*, ford, will see if i can make it work. found a dome light from a sub. matches the console. the part was $10.00. here is how i recovered it to match my headliner, that i put in, using the same material. took about an hour to do, 24 hours to dry.
this is what it looks like from the factory:
back side:
notice there is a diff in depth from the front/back side:
this is what is in there now. there are LED's in it but it looks dated i think:
these 6 melted tips need to be melted off, i used a soldering iron:
separate the frame from the inner part:
here's the material used, same that i used on the headliner and overhead console. bought from walmart:
adhesive:
cement:
cut a piece to stretch around the frame:
spray contact on frame, let it get tacky:
start stretching and cement the inside edges that will be hidden:
trim a little closer and clamp down:
when adhesive is tacky(moisten finger when pressing down to prevent it from sticking), cut out center section making relief cuts on inside corners, place adhesive to edge, keep the 6 tips free of material so they can get glued down. they don't have enough plastic to remelt closed for a good seal:
cement the edges......
but stay away from here, the lens cover needs to be free to replace bulb:
place clamps on edges to hold it together until adhesive sets:
before:
after:
