Installation / Application:
- Difficulty: 2/5
- Estimated time: 15-30 minutes
Instructions:
- Park vehicle on a level surface and turn interior lights off; remove the courtesy light bulb or switch to avoid accidental contact with the bulb.
- Open the door and locate the courtesy light bezel. If present, gently pry surrounding trim as needed using a trim tool to expose the screw heads.
- Use a correctly sized Phillips screwdriver to remove the old or damaged screws, supporting the bezel with your other hand so it does not fall.
- Place removed screws in a small container so they are not lost and inspect the bezel and mounting holes for damage or debris.
- Clean the screw holes and bezel mating surface with a clean cloth; remove any rust or old thread compound. Apply a light coating of anti-seize if desired for future removal.
- Position the bezel and insert the replacement screws by hand to start threads—do not cross-thread. Tighten screws evenly and snugly with the Phillips screwdriver; avoid overtightening to prevent cracking the bezel or stripping threads.
- Check bezel alignment and ensure the courtesy light functions correctly. Reinstall the bulb if removed and test the light by opening and closing the door.
- If any mounting holes are stripped or the bezel is damaged, address the underlying issue (thread repair or bezel replacement) before final installation to ensure a secure fit.
