Tail light removal

Remove small metal sheet screws from the bottom of the molding between tail lights. Remove also metal sheet screws hidden under trunk rubber seal too.

Remove the tail lights by removing four plastic nuts and later four nuts holding the tail light plate through the rear metal sheet. Expect some rust ...

Hello.


I'm trying to remove right tail light as the plastic is cracked and need replacement. I have removed all four bolst that are holding the tail lamp in place but it seems that a chrome trim beetween the tail lights need to be remove too. I already removed all metal sheet screws that are located from bellow of the trim but the trim is still stuck in place.


Is thre some special trick to remove it?


Is there some documentation about this tasks? There is nothing about it in 600 worshop manual.


Regards


Filip
