Rear window brake light removal, Rover 75 Saloon.
 

Got a dead wasp stuck inside the rear window brake light. I've removed the 2 screws , how do I remove the plastic covers?

i have never removed or fitted one, but i have read about them being a problem to reseat . the clips apparently can snap like carrots. have a search on the google search bar above and read a few posts, before you attempt to remove.

Mine was hanging down when I bought the car about a month ago. A spot of Screwfix 'Sticks Like Sh*t' glue round the edge, with penny washers under the nuts a s well (the plastic was brittle and broken), all is now well.

i think the posts i read were about opening them up to see why some of the lights were not functioning , or working. yours was a straight forward re-attatch. might look out for some screwfix adhesive next time,always handy.. ;)

Hi Alan.
Now you have removed the two cross screws.

You gently pull unclip the small panel.

Press in the connector tab and pull it apart.

Now undo the two 8-10mm nuts holding the light to the plates stuck to the rear window.

You can now lower the unit from the window.
