Hummingbird

I have a question for any hummingbird owners
How the heck do you take the lenses off the interior round LED lights to clean the debris inside ?

I just returned from my first long trip with my new Hummer
Pulling with Toyota Tacoma 3700 mile ND MT ID and back to Washington

Probs noted
Lenses full of sawdust and insulation
Lost the spare tire cover
Broke the bed in center area above the heater -1/4 plywood ???
Overall towed great with WD hitch and antisway

I haven't removed mine because they are all getting ready to be replaced under the recall, but I noticed two small intentions on the lenses covers the other day so I'm assuming that they pop off with a small screw driver?

thanks appreciated that
I used a tiny flat tip screwdriver and eased them off
fixed


Beefed up the bed plywood and added a piece of 3/4 inch in the area you get in and out of bed above the heater outlet and screws not staples on braces, cheap cheap cheap

I think Jayco should be looking at their quality control though
lots of crud, sawdust wire snips and just cr*p in most spots behind appearance panels or appliance areas.
overall nice little trailer

lost our spare tire cover and both covers for the 4" square tube bumper on the drive home from the dealer. Granted it as a 3 day 1400 mile drive, but still...

I bought these for ours -

If I can find my factory caps you're welcome to them, but they'll likely just fall off again.

We're going out this weekend, so they'll hopefully be there when we get back. The seem pretty tight when pushed in.

We only have about 2k miles on our TT, but we haven't had any problems with the spare tire cover yet. I do check to make sure it's fully on the tire occasionally.

Darn! There you go again. One more really neat item that I'll have to go out and buy. Thanks for passing that idea out. My factory ones just about fall out and I'm always smacking them back on. After a couple of years, I still have mine, but I can see how these are an improvement.

I used sheet metal self tapping screws and thin braided wire to secure the sewer hose storage bumper covers and a bungi on the spare tire cover
