Re: replace light cover on ceiling fan

Hello @TiffanyP 

 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about your light cover.

 

The tin clips are meant to settle inside the lip of the light cover. I suggest starting the installation with cover in hand at a slight angle make sure to catch at least one of the clips on the inside lip of the cover. Slowly rotate the cover so that it hooks onto the second clip. Once you have them hooked on carefully level the cover so that it hooks onto the third hook. Use a slow rotating motion to position the lamp cover.

 

If the plastic is too brittle, I suggest looking for the brand and model number of the ceiling fan and see if you can obtain a new lamp cover from the manufacturer. 

 

If you need further assistance, please let me know.

 

Eric
