Ceiling lights
2012 Crossroads Cruiser 5th wheel. The ceiling lights are I guess you'd call them pot lights. The covers are almost flat and they don't turn. How in heck do you get these things off ?

- I have a few assorted lights like that over time, They do turn, not easy, but they do turn... Once you have done one you will be able to do the rest easier.
but they do turn. - The rim has stuck to the ceiling. Take a dinner knife and slide it around between the rim and ceiling to unstick. You should be able to see three small dimples in the outer edge of the rim. Push up and turn CCW.
- Take it to the guy (RV dealer).
- Okay guy's I tried the palm thing. I'm not a little guy, but no cigar. Perhaps my fist or a hammer & chisel is next LOL
- X2 Push up with the palm of your hand and turn ccw.I got so upset at not being able to get mine off for 2 years that I decided they ARE going to come off or break. It takes a good grip so don't be too gentle with the upward pressure. Try turning them back and forth to loosen them.They only have to turn about 1/4 to 1/2 inch to come loose. There are tabs that fit into notches. They unlock when turned C0UNTER CLOCKWISE! Keep the faith. you'll get 'em!
- Try using the palm of your hand, pushing up and then twisting.
- A pic would be nice so we could see what kind they actually are. There are a bunch of different designs.
Mine were as Hooterville stated, but it was near impossible to get them to turn the first time. The second time was no issue because the plastic tabs had broken. A very flimsy design. - If the covers are frosted glass they are removed by twisting ccw. The fit is anything but smooth as they are designed not to vibrate loose.
