I am installing a new interior in my 36 Fordor sedan, and can't get the dome light glass and bezel to come loose. Does anyone know how these are attached?

If you look closely you will see a snap ring retainer. You will need a very small screwdriver to spring it out. Beware, as soon as the ring snaps out the glass will fall like a rock! Tom

Thanks Tom, I've had this car for 53 years and after posting this, I went back out with my glasses on this time and saw the retainer spring, and it all came back to me. I used to take this apart, but discovered that the wires weren't connected so I abandoned the idea when I was 16 years old. I'm just now putting in a Mohair interior after having the 1950's era Naugahide interior all these years. It served me well. Thanks for the quick response to my question. Hope I can help you some time. I also have a '35 Ford of the same body style. It's fresh out of a barn in 1970 and belonged to my older sister, but her husband torn it all apart and it is now a basket case. Thanks again Tom, Ernie
