Re: 2003 Carver 444 cabin ceiling light lens replacement
I had one “lens cap” that broke. Instead of replacing the entire fixture, I put a couple dabs of clear silicone on the bottom of the cap and put it back up, holding it with a bit of masking tape till it dried. Worked great.
In my 356 I did the same thing, even on a cap that broke into three pieces. It was hard to tell unless you looked really close.
As for the ones I fixed that just had broken tabs, you would never know.
It is a quick fix and you don’t have to spend a ton of money for new fixtures.

This lens cap is not listed on my Carver replacement parts list and I have not had any luck finding just the lens cap on the internet. All the sites just sell the whole light fixture. The lens cap is 2 1/2 inches in diameter with a translucent lens and a silver beasal. Does anyone know where you can buy these caps?
Not sure which light fixture they used in 96 however many over several years used the same type. Here is a link to a replacement which is by far the best fix. Believe me, even the base is brittle and about to fall off on all your lights. These were basically a drop in on all my fixtures apart from wiring them in. https://www.amazon.com/Dream-Lighting-Recessed-Ceiling-Silver/dp/B00S4CPL5U?pd_rd_w=kw4yF&pf_rd_p=07da9b2f-52f3-4fa6-b605-4458a1e54cf1&pf_rd_r=NERZ1KH5F0B9ZBBK7HJ4&pd_rd_r=ee0e8a4f-eb8d-4ce6-a9a0-a834c88678f9&pd_rd_wg=gJb7e&pd_rd_i=B00S4CPL5U&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_d_rp_6_t
