Help with light fixture

[delosholly]

We have this light in our bathroom:



I cannot figure out how to remove cover. I see some white tabs, but those do not seem to press in to release cover and I do not want to crack anything. Anyone with the answer?

Thank you, you were correct. I took off the silver part and there were four screws holding the clear part on.

Now to find out what is wrong.

Thanks again.

The tabs do not push in at all. I have tried several times even using a piece of metal. Also, the tabs are spaced so far apart and there are 5 of them that it is not possible to do all 5 at the same time.

However, as previously stated, I did not try to remove the silver part only the clear part, so perhaps I was trying to remove the wrong part. I will try tonight.

Isn't it just a matter of pushing the little tab inside the circle, along with any others like it?

I don't have one but you might try pressing in on the top front.

I know what you mean. We had a camper which used a soft plastic cover and the tabs were almost non-existent, so they would easily fall off on bumpy roads. I did the cheap thing and used small pieces of scotch tape to give them that extra holding power.

Yours looks like the one our Via came with. On ours, you had to unclip the top cover (two at bottom left & right corners and one in top middle). Once that is off, there are 4 small Philips screws holding the clear cover on and the bulb can be changed. We replaced our whole light with a motion activated Starlights SL1000 LED one that we like much better.

So you have to take off the silver looking part before you can remove the clear part? I have been trying to remove the clear part thinking the silver part was a permanent item. I will see what I can do when I get home from work today.

Also I am very much interested in that replacement fixture you mentioned. Was it hard to replace the old one?

Thanks for the help.
