I have an annoying rattle inside my interior light. I want to pop the light cover to investigate. Problem is, that everytime I try to pry something like this, I end up breaking it.

Is there a knack to it or simply shove a fine screwdriver in, bend and pray for the best.

cheers...

I've done this on numerous cars without any problems.

If you are worried, just look in the car manual. Look up replacing globes and you should be sweet.

Yeah I should have mentioned the car manual is temporarily lost. I will give it a go today.

UPDATE. Too easy...took a small screwdriver to the notches at the back. Popped off easily. No breakage which is a surprise.

If its the cover that rattles, blue tac works a treat....

It looks like the cover is rattling. I was gonna try some double sided tape...but the suggestion of blue tac seems to be the goer. I will raid the kids supply tommorow.
