Good question ... I am pretty sure you can access the globe compartment from under the parcel shelf itself. Is it possible to get the lens from under there as well????

Sounds like it may be a percel shelf out job though ... and as I don't have a sedan to compare I am no help in that department ... sorry.

You have to remove the parcell tray, just pop out the speaker grilles and I think there is a couple of christmas tree plugs also holding it in place. Just have a look it is fairly straight forward from memory.
