2015 VW Touareg R-Line rear bumper reflector removal
Discussion
I've somehow ended up with a cracked n/s rear bumper light and would like to swap it out for a new one I found on ebay.
Looking at the new one there are three push-in lugs and a fixing screw which looks to sit behind the adjacent reflector. I reckon that if I can get the adjacent reflector off if should be pretty easy to get the main reflector off. Has anyone done this and got any pointers?
[I know the car looks a mess but I'd been on a muddy building site and spotted the crack when I was there]

Try looking up inside the bumper from below. You MIGHT be able to get at the clips where they come through the bumper & release them.
Sometimes a very tight squeeze.
Works on some cars, but may not work on others due to access.
If not possible then destruction of the broken one may be the only answer - apart from bumper removal!
A dremel with a cutting disc is my preferred method.
