Chris,

The running lights on the roof use rivet nuts:

Unfortunately quite often the screws that retain the lights are rusted solid in the rivet nuts and the rivet nuts will spin in the
plastic. To replace them you can use these:

Thanks Rob! Yes I knew about those things as we had the pleasure of replacing a few already Smile

I meant the screws that hold the plastic lens to the metal housing. We had a heck of a time on some of them, using new screws and getting the screws to bite so that the plastic lenses don't pop off. The original screws looked exactly like those hi-lo ones. Now I know what to get.

Best,
