retaining clips for the lighting panel

keproductions · #1 (**permalink**) 06-03-08, 02:46 PM

Please help me somebody. I have a 98 sts. I bought it used. It had a phone installed in it. I took the phone out and tried to remove the microphone from the lighting panel. And guess what??? I RIPPED THE WHOLE LIGHTING PANEL DOWN!!!!
Now the part has been discontinued so I can't find the replacement retainer clips to put it back up. Somebody help me please.
If you don't kno what the lighting panel is, it's located between the sun visors and houses the map lights and the garage door remote. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you tried a scrap yard ?

There are a couple of Seville's on E-bay under Cadillac Seville parts. Others come up from time to time.

Its probably called the overhead console. There are enough that have eaten the headgaskets that parts should be available, if not cheap. Try www.car-part.com and search on interior parts - it should at least lead you to a local yard that may have the right car in stock.
