Nick350z Posted August 8, 2013 Share Posted August 8, 2013 Hi gang. I've done a search and couldn't find anything on this. Does anyone know how to remove the said brake light? I ask because I have watermarks/dirt between the brake light and the inside of the rear screen and want to take it off so I can clean it. I can't see any obvious screws holding it in, and don't want to risk snapping it off. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick350z Posted August 8, 2013 Author Share Posted August 8, 2013 Figured it out! A quick guide for anyone wanting to do the same. 1. To remove the piece of tailgate trim that is covering the base of the brake light 'shield' I simply raised it on one side with a plastic scraper thing I have (to avoid damaging the trim piece) so that I could get my fingers around it, then lifted it away. It is attached with four plastic clips and comes away quite easily with a little bit of force. 2. Unscrew the 4 screws that are holding the shield in place then gently pull it away from the glass as it is also attached with a couple of clips. 3. Clean whatever needs cleaning, pop shield back into place, put screws back in and then line up and replace the tailgate trim piece ( I had to smack it a bit with the palm of my hand to get the clips to go back in). It is literally a 5 minute job and if I'd have known how easy it was I'd have done it ages ago! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
