Dent - Rear Light Removal

RobT350C · Mar 20, 2018

Got a very slight dent above the rear light on the corner of the rear wing with no paint damage. It looks like you can get access to the area by removing the rear light (don't seem to have access to the area from inside the boot).

Has anyone removed a rear light before? Anything to look out for / guide as to how to do it?

Thanks in advance.

guide on my facebook (Search Manders Mustang), or in any gt350 valance install video bill from CJP shows you how to remove it.

In short:
Remove the 4 hand spin bolts.
Remove plastic trim cover
remove shaker box if you have it (few torx screws and some big bolts)
remove the 3 (per side) nuts on the bolts.
Unplug connector
push out the guiding holes from behind and it'll come out.

Can't hunt around right now, but I recall some vids from US owners who swapped out their red lights for the euro lights, some of them go in to detail about how to remove the light units. From memory it's a case of pulling back the carpet & undoing 3 or so bolts & disconnecting the plug...

Shouldn't take you long to find something on youtube...

Great, thanks, sounds fairly straightforward.

It's the light on the opposite side to the shaker box, would I still need to remove the shaker? In work so can't visualise it at the moment.

Nope if it's passanger side it's the easier one to remove. you'll need to do everything else. So that:

4 screw bolts removed
1 plastic trim cover removed (pull out and into the boot)
3 bolts (2 on the side and 1 behind the felt lining - may have to remove 1 plastic Christmas tree push clip for this)
unplug connector

when putting it back in, don't forget to plug the connector back in before putting all the trim back.

just saying..... :frusty: :lol:
