The map lights work fine.

I have noticed that the paint, or outer layer of plastic is real soft, 
I thought that maybe this was due to someone trying to clean it
with a chemical that softened the paint. Others have said that
it is a reaction to exposure to the sun, or heat. Either way, it has to
come off, and get refinished, or replaced.

So, how do I remove this shell, so that I can do something with it?
I have found the 2 screws under the map lamp assemblies, but there
are more holding that unit under the windshield frame that I cannot find.
Do I have to remove the rear view mirror as well?

TIA.
