Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

Thanks for the reply. I need instructions how to replace the tail light assembly.

POST 4Original post

Not much to it: remove the side carpet panels in the trunk by undoing 4 plastic screws ( 2 on each side). Then undo the wiring harness to to each light assembly. Each tail light is held with 4 bolts/nuts. Undo these and the light should slide right out. Good luck.
