Don't use a screwdriver. see if this works. see this: http://www.bmwe36blog.com/image-viewer.php?imagename=photos/fix-bmw-e36-obc-light/fix-bmw-e36-obc-light04 Robert, If this method fails, just try to stick your finger in the hole in top of the sunglass holder, push up and pull out.

I gave up when I heard cracking noises, but luckily the thing still works (but still has a spotty display). Has anyone else tried this? Or do you have any other suggestions?
