The other day I noticed that a bug has somehow entered one of the two reading lights on the overhead console and has met with an untimely death (see photo attached). What I cannot figure out is how said bug managed to enter the light in the first place, as I would have thought that the light assembly is more or less sealed off from the elements.

Could anybody who has disassembled the overhead panel shed some light? Would it be possible that the sunroof has something to do with this? And, finally, if bugs can get in there, couldn't the same potentially happen with water?

Cheers,

Very peculiar!!!

There would be no need for the light assembly to be sealed off - it would be the general area where it is installed that would be water-proof, the light assembly is probably vented to aid cooling.

Though there are probably many ways a small bug can get under the head-lining (& subsequently travel towards the 'guiding' light), an open sunroof would probably make it a whole lot easier for him/her.
