I've been reading the owner's manual, and I've got two questions
about emergency operation of the sunroof. I just bought the car,
so I don't know it very well yet.

I'm not clear about how to remove the lens -- the drawing looks
like the lens is being pried off with a flat-blade screwdriver.
Looking at the actual "overhead console," it appears that the
only way to pry this off would gouge up the plastic parts. Yet,
sooner or later, one has to replace the dome light bulbs inside
this assembly. Is there some cool trick for this?

The instructions say that once the lens and console have been
removed (or pulled away) one is to use the "hexagonal head wrench
provided with the vehicle." Is this a special tool, or is it the
back end of the jack handle? The only tool I received with the
car was the jack handle. Am I missing something? Or can something
as ordinary as a hex screwdriver extension be used with a ratchet
handle?

There should be an allen wrench in with your owner's manual and other
paperwork. Check the glove compartment. If it's not there, go back to
the dealer and ask for one, as it comes with the car. If your radio has
a removeable faceplate, you should have gotten a case for it. If they
forgot to give you that too, make sure you get one.

The lens of the dome lamp pops out.  Prying with a small flat-blade
screwdriver is typically how it's done-- but be gentle to avoid the
gouging you describe.
