Hi guys!

I noticed a bit of a weird issue yesterday, and it's driving me a little crazy.

Somehow, I've got a piece of clear plastic working its way out from behind the 3rd brake light in my GTS. I have no idea how this is even possible, but it is definitely something that wasn't there before. I apologize for not having a picture to show (I'm at work). Looking at the lens, and the inside of the hatch, I have no idea how to get that lens out. The hatch looks pretty much sealed on the inside. What's the trick?

Let's skip the obvious "take it to the dealer" stuff. :p

There is one Philips head screw inside the hatch that holds it in. Remove the screw and pull the light out. I believe it kind of hinges out from what I recall just tap the bottom of the light and it should move for you.

Awesome, I know which screw you're talking about.

Thank you!
