CRv 2015 tailgate spoiler brake light

[Pezza]

Hi,

anyone know how to remove the plastic trim panel on the underside of the tailgate spoiler to access the led brake light? Thanks

I think it just sits in clips from memory....would only use a plastic lever or fingers to prise it down

Thanks Trevor.

I hope you're right, but I found a website (collegehillshonda),USA, which shows the complete installation of the spolier and brake light. The cover plate has lugs and is fixed by screws to the spoiler. The only way to access the screws is to remove the spoiler from the tailgate.

I have carefully tried to prise off the cover plate but gave up as I didn't want to risk damaging it.

oh, that's an absolute nightmare but I suppose a necessary task to replace the light unit.

If you do replace the unit, a few photos and a brief description would be very handy to post up for others to follow if needs be.

Thanks, and good luck
