Snowbear77 Member 102 Member For: 4y 3m 12d Gender: Male Location: Perth Posted 25/11/20 10:35 PM Share Posted 25/11/20 10:35 PM hey all, having just purchased an FG, I'm new to the whole experience of the car, and have ticked off a lot of things, thanks to this forum. Though, one that stumps me.........I have the standard interior roof lights , though if I was to purchase a roof light with sunglasses holder.........are the holes for the extended size of the bigger sunglasses/light already in the roof lining? or do I have to drill them?

I'm pretty sure you'll have to put another hole there... just compare the two light fixtures and see where they mount and make your decision on what to do based on that.

I did it like 5 yrs ago so memory is a little fuzzy on the details Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems I may not have install the larger backing plate that came with it from the wreckers and left the factory small one in. It's mounted 100% solid though. Would have had to cut the lining with a knife to fit the glasses holder part as it is recessed up into the roof space. Lining needs to come out anywayas it's screwed in from above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't even bother mate whatever you put in that stupid holder gets baked by the sun and burns your face/hands when you take them out of it do yourself a favor and use the center console 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helps with temp and the Doof Doof too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
