Is it possible to remove overhead console unit (2021 elantra)?

Hi All,

one of the light bulb sockets broke in the overhead console unit and I want to try and fix it. However, I cannot find any information on how to remove the unit itself (not just pop off the button to access the light).

Most overhead consoles (map lights, etc) have screws hidden underneath the sunglass holder which need to be removed then the unit can be popped out as a whole. Since the 2021 elantra does not have sunglass holders, I'm assuming the screws are hidden somewhere else and I do not want to pry away at the unit and break something.

Does anybody know how to remove the overhead console? I have a sunroof, if that matters.

Never mind OP, I got it. Once in a while, you just gotta pull!

There are two clips where the screws usually are (circles), and 4 clips that hold it to the headliner (arrows)... 2 on the bottom one on each side. The top just rests on the headliner. I use a hook tool in the map light cavities to pull down and release the clips. Then I used a plastic pry tool to release the clips from the headliner.
