afaic, that part is attached to the dome light and lips up under the hoodlining cutout

mine is hanging down slightly (since I re-did my headlining several years ago. I should fix it

from memory again, the fitting is also retained by some dogs **** fastener, male thread into roof, female thread facing downward, have you got that ?...my memory may be...clouded
