In the process of taking off my rear screen and i am struggling to work out how to disconnect the interior light.

There is a large red pin connector on the loom behind the door lock access panel, but this is too large to pass through the cable hole in the bodywork. Is there a way of disconnecting this within the roof section?

I haven't totally freed off the lower edge yet, will it all be clear once i have this loose.

I'm supprised this isn't in the Bible.

Thanks for any help

On the left side of the car, the pillar for the roof. There are two wires for the roof light, should have a connection in them!

There is a connector, but is is located within the door lock area behind the carpet flap.

Have had a responce from Dave (thanks) vie Email and he says that the red connector plug is too large, but if you withdraw the yellow locking clip, and ease out the connectors with a little gentle persuasion with a small screwdriver.

These smaller connectors will then pass through the cable hole and can be removed with the roof section.

I will give this a go give some feedback.

Thanks

Looks like too many cookies spoiled the broth......

If I can find my camera I'll take a couple of snaps of the connectors and the pins for them, which should make assembly/disassembly a little clearer.
