For such a simple car, everything seems to be a pain in the arse!
I want to replace the low-beam bulbs. Just so happens that, during my PDI, the service manager had to remove the headlamp cover to test a bulb, so I saw him do it, but I can't recall the details. The wheel liner has to come out first, but I can't recall -- is it the whole thing that comes out? When I tried to do it today, it appeared that it was 2 parts riveted together, and you had to remove the whole thing. When the service manager did it, he didn't remove the wheel -- he just reached around and removed the screws, then yanked the liner out past the wheel -- a tight squeeze. I thought it was just part, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I'm reluctant to do it, cause I'm not sure I could get it back in place without removing the wheel, and I don't feel like jacking up the car to do that.
Anyone got some info here? Does the whole thing have to come out? How many screws? How easy is it to re-install? What a pain!
