Vehicles Without Dome Lights
When the vehicle has no dome light, and it is not feasi-
ble to remove the headlining to get to the inside sur-
face, proceed as follows:
1.
Locate the center of the roof and make sure
the area beneath this point is clear to allow
passage of a drill.
2.
With a 3/4-inch diameter hole cutting saw
carefully cut a 3/4-inch hole from the top of
the roof through both thicknesses of metal.
Clean the metal in a neat circle around the
hole to assure a good contact between the roof
metal and the locking nut.
3.
Remove any burrs and remove the filler sepa-
rating the roof thickness for a distance of 1/
4-inch back from the hole.
