you still didnt get this off man? I should drive over and do it. Im goin outside to look at mine now and Ill tell you.

OK, pop plastic cover off. 4 screws and the clips. Then theres one bolt on each side, and 2 in the middle. Im sure theyre 10mm. Then youll need to unlpug the connector for third brake light. Thats all. Anything past that its just sticking I think

Get a blow dryer and point it at the seam. After it starts getting warm slowly pull up. If you have an extra set of hands instead of pulling up have your buddy use a length of dental floss and kind of saw through the seam. Rinse, Lather, and Repeat... smile.gif

Uhh... Get some muscle and pull the damn thing? You don't need a DIY for everything dude. This is all easy shit. Just look at things and wonder what the magic barrier holding it in place is before you ask dumb questions.

Woh, take it easy on him. Theirs nothing wrong with asking help, everyone stop being dickhead's. Its jsut the 2 bolts inside the hatch lining and the cable for the 3rd brake light. Really simple to install/uninstall

^^ Lacquer thinner or gas on a rag will take it right off.
