Changing rear reflectors
Can't seam to find the link for the DIY for this. I just got my painted rear reflectors and wanted to know if the entire rear bumper needed to come off in order to replace??

Never mind. I got it. Fellas , if the 3m tape don't work for you, wrap some thick string around the side with the metal clip and pull gently it will pop out.

Here is a nice slideshow which shows how to change the rear reflectors. The slides dont show it but there is a small metal clip located where they are prying which holds the reflector in place. Its comes out fairly easy.

the easiest way to remove it is to use a double sided tape and an L or T shape bracket. The bracket has to be slender to fit in fit between the indentation on the bumper. Stick the double sided tape on the bracket and stick to the reflector, pull it off and done. make sure pull straight as you may scratch the bumper if the reflector hits the surrounding indentation.
sorry no pics i'm too lazy to look for the bracket. |
