I'm getting my windows tinted tomorrow. I have read here before about removing the 3rd brake light cover to make the installation easier. Can anyone provide a procedure for removing this without breaking it? Any assistance is appreciated.
From my Service Manual
1. Open the rear compartment lid.
2. From inside the rear comparment, disengage the 2 retaining tabs from the rear window panel assembly.
3. From inside the vehicle, grasp the edge of the high mount stop lamp assembly and pull the assembly up and away from the rear windscreen until the locating tabs are free of the slots.
4. Disconnect the high mounted stop lamp electrical connector.
5. Remove the high mount lamp assembly from the vehicle.
6. Unclip the harness connector from the lamp assembly.
7. Starting at one end of the light emitting diode (LED) assembly, carefully disengage the retaining tabs with a small flat-bladded tool.
Reinstall is essentially the reverse.
