3rd Brake Light Removal

[Woody91GSX]

Can someone point me in a direction to disassemble the hatch plastics to get to the 3rd brake light? Those pieces are hard on there and I've already bent one corner more than I wanted. I tried searching here and Google but haven't found anything specifically for that. I'm mechanically saavy, but this one is tough.

Something my Wife did... Not me.

Are you wanting to change the bulb, or the housing of the third brake light?

The entire housing. It's broken.

If no one responds earlier, I have the repair manual at home, and can post it later.

Got a random day off. Can I bug you for that manual?

Nevermind. Got it. Had to start in the corner. Pull down toward the bottom the the hatch. The two clips on the sides are the strange ones.

3 10mm nuts, the washer line, and adhesive foam hold it on. Be sure to disconnect the electric.

Sorry I did not get back to you in a timely matter (I forgot last night), but you got it and posted pictures for others to follow. Thanks for sharing.

Yeah. I just didn't want to break anything more than she already did. I had to pull small dents too from that. Not perfect. But much better. I wouldn't mind that manual of its handy. Hate asking for things like that since they can be expensive.

Not at all. I'll bring it to work on Tuesday to copy it, and get it onto a thumb drive. It's large.

Sounds good. I can do a fileshare if that's easier. I have fiber at home.

I'll post on Wednesday.

Still trying to locate the CD.

Thanks for the pictures and your experience.
I was just wondering if you can disconnect the third brake light connecter without pulling the light assembly?
