[TOMGREEN413]

Hi folks,
I'm looking to change out my rear centre brake light but unfortunately my post on how to remove the rear hatch trim to do this was meet by silence so plan B......does anyone know where I can find schematic breakdown images to help me locate the fixings l need to remove?
I'm sure Barty will know how to access this light

It can sometimes take a while to locate exactly what you're looking for but it's an invaluable source

To replace the coupe specific 3rd brake light (different to roadsters), open the boot and unscrew/remove the two black covers.

Then using an 8mm deep socket and extender, remove the 3 x nuts and tension springs, don't forget to remove the connector which can also be stubborn.

Once you've removed the old one, make sure you clean around the hole that houses the light before refitting with a new unit

... and after that, you have a 8mm deep socket extender in your toolbox which I have not used since :lol:

Okay , I've removed all the screws l can see, just one on each side panel and two inside the grab holds......but nothing moving ??
Any help welcome as I'm stuck at the moment.....thanks

The trim is loose, but that's about it, are there clips that need to be unclipped?

If all the screw are undone you just need to give it a firm tug

Yes there are clips, just needs a yank. You need to remove the central piece near the roof first before moving the sides.
If you wouldn't mind could you post a photo of the 4 screws removed? I removed mine ages ago and unsure as to those that go back in from my 'pile'! Thanks

 

[TOMGREEN413]

Legends!! All sorted, brutal force and nothing damaged did the job.
Really appreciate the prompt response, and yes, that electrical plug needed a serious tug!!
Photos of screws, the short ones go in the hand cut outs and the long screws the side trim.

Side note, short screws Philips, long screws Hex heads
