Interior light problem
I was removing the interior light housing and the piece that holds it in snapped. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how hard it is to find, replace, or make something for it? Any help would be appreciated. link is a pic of the piece.

Ebay is your best bet. Now that I think about it, I've only taken it off once in 10 years to route the wires to hardwire my dashcam.
If you can't find it, epoxy paste is your second best fix. Apply it, wait for it to harden then use a dremel to cut the slit for the housing clip.
If the above is too much trouble, buy some butyl tape, wrap it around the housing leg and jam it in place. If you ever need to take off the housing again just reapply the tape.
Other than those all I can say is use your imagination.
