I've ripped my headlining out and destroyed a grab handle in the process as expected. I've unscrewed the screws holding the sun visor small clip in (the hook that keeps the actual visor in place) and it's not moving at all. Is there a way to get it out and be able to reuse it? Or does it need destroying? I just want the bugger out for now!

Sure mine just hooked out (at an angle), like joe has said above!
Although it was a while ago!

No worries
You have the same one as me then, should just un-clip from the roof lining! Are you planning on taking the whole lining out?

Read the first sentence
I can't see where the clips are though. It seems solid in place... I'll have another look tomorrow.
Ooops, I'm tired
Are we on about the light now? If so I'll take mine out in the morning and put up a photo so you can see how to remove it
Can you put this in the guides section if you don't mind mate? May help someone else out too!
Step 1 - Remove the light itself

Step 2 - This will leave you with this

Step 3 - Push a flat blade screwdriver into the clip holes, you will need to do this on each end of the light surround. You need to slightly pull the light at the same time.

Step 4 - It should now look like this

Step 5 - Pull down at 90 degrees away from the windscreen

Step 6 - Success! The surround is now removed. You will then need to get the metal clips out of the roof so you can refit the surround at a later point

Step 7 - Once you have removed the clips, simply attach them back on to the light surround, you may need to gently expand them

ThomasBrentnall what car is that?
His 182
Yep, my inferno!
Looks different to my mk2 clio light, like mine has a surround that's long for some reason
Because mines a cup!
Ah right prefer the look of it, don't even understand why they have such a big fascia?
I like it too! It's a whole different roof lining too!
Oooh, didn't know this!
It incorporates the climate control and auto wipers sensor iirc.
