3rd Brake Light Cover

here's a Pic of 3rd brake light cover. the metal clips is what holds it tight up against the roof. it's trickey to pull down. if you need to remove it, try to wedge your fingers in on each side and then apply even down force, don't be afarid to apply force, it will pop off.

And here's a picture from the service manual. Putting it here because together this gives good information on removing the cover.

Ron,

I just had the dealer replace mine. It's better but still not right. I didn't want to mess with it myself but now it seems I'll have to to get it right. I tried pulling mine down before I took it in and used quite a bit of force and it still wouldn't pop off. I just left it knowing I had a service appt in a few days.

Once it pops off, the metal clips are adjustable to make it fit properly? That is what I got from the earlier thread. Thanks for the pix cvajs.........rep points for you!!!!
