The interior light on these are pretty ordinary, anyone retried something else in? I like the old Ford Ghia type chrome base with side lights.

Was going to be about $400, but ended up selling the car.https://www.stevesupholstery.com.au/I also looked into DIY, but would probably get it done professionally I think. Might save a couple of hundred, but would be difficult to get a decent result. Don't muck around with the spray adhesive stuff to repair it - the foam inside breaks down so the adhesive doesn't help.

I'll look out for the Queanbeyan guy when my BA needs doing. Lots of stuff is cheaper there than in the ACT itself. Noticed when I installed the dashcam that a couple of spots on the leading edge were starting to lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
