V8V Third brake light
Discussion
Having changed my main rear lights without any great hassle, I'm finding it a little tricky to remove the cover on the tailgate to get at the horizontal third brake light.
The plastic lugs that hold the trim on are refusing to budge and I don't really want to snap them in the process if I can help it
Any suggestions (of a helpful nature)!

Trim tool sets include ones that are "forked" for things like fir tree clips (the black things). They're a pain to remove without trim tools but you can work a flat head screwdriver around them. I recommend replacing fir tree clips if they've been damaged at all during removal. Cheap to replace, worth the very small investment.

Thanks Telum - good advice. I'll go & get some new plugs tomorrow.telum01 said:
