It's Fallen and It Won't Stay Up!
It's fallen and it won't stay up.
My Map light or interior light that's above the dash keeps falling down on my 126, it could be that the headliner part is deteriorating a bit. Any solutions to keeping it up? It nags me every time I hit a bump in the road.

Probably a dislodged or broken clip or spring on the lamp itself.

Well the clamps are still there, I disconnected the sun roof awhile back, because it needs work to slide back properly. Now the map/light housing is loose and it falls out dangling, until i push it back up. The headliner that it fits into seems to be brittle around the edges, so that could be the reason. I'm wodering what you do to build it up, without glueing it?

Tom, rather than replace a bunch of expensive parts, you might get away with a touch of silicone along the edge of the switch. You could put a small layer on and allow it to dry with the switch out. Then you would get the additional friction needed to hold it in place. You would not have a mess of the switch siliconed to the headliner.
