Thread: Upper Tail Light Broken

SWMBO managed to back into something in a carpark. Fortunately (!) only problem is the upper brake light in the centre of the tailgate is smashed.

Looks like you have to buy the full assembly approx $263 at dealer. Nothing showing on Ebay.

Anyone know how this is removed / replaced?

There are no external fixings.

The cover also has the water spray for the rear window. Assume the internal trim needs to be removed but any tips would be appreciated.

I searched the forum but no prior mention of this could be found.

Thanks

It only looks like a simple light to be replaced, but it's bonded it to the upper tailgate. A right rear pain in you know what.

We normally use a windscreen fitter to R & R the unit. We then wire, test & clear the unit.
Maybe good to ring a windscreen fitter & ask if they have done one before as it is very easy to scratch the paintwork, so care must be taken.

Good luck.
