image005 Beside the 1 main screw each tail light has 2 prongs that keep assembly in place (removal technique is pull the tail light as straight back as possible care full not to lean off to the side, up or down bc that can damage the screw)

image003 plastic cover to channel run off from roof away from light housing (helps with debris and ice but does not do a great job with water)(not sure of exact technique but I gently lifted up and out and it snapped off with no damage to holding clips) *this was the hardest step of the whole process
