On my 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited, there was an extra screw that needed to be removed. I didn’t notice it and, in trying to remove the headlight housing, broke the plastic housing that was held in place by that screw.

You didn’t notice it? I wouldn’t have you working on my car if you’re that careless.
