Changing the reading light in an 03 vibe

[03butterfly]

How do you change the light? I took out the screw, but I'm afraid if I pull too hard, I may break plastic. Is there a certain place to pull or something? Any info would be helpful! Thanks!

the reading light in the lighted rear view mirror, or reading light in the sunroof control, or dome light?edit /I assume that you mean the light in the sunroof control.After you take out the one screw, the entire cover just pulls off. ( If you try to pry out just the clear plastic lens, you 'll mess it up)Here is what the cover looks like, it comes off as a single piece I just roll my fingertips a ittle bit under the edge of the long side and pull

Or do you have a moonroof and mean the light in the controls?EDIT Whoops - missed all the previous posts between reading & posting!

The one map light in my rear view mirror is hard to shut off - the push button fails to catch so the light stays on. Have to press it 50 or so times before it finally catches. Better design would be to have it turn on when you push it in so if that breaks the light is at least "off".
