Thread: removing the Third Brake light

Ok I just bought a grand prix decal that goes over the third brake light. But I dont quite know how to remove the 3rd brake light so I can apply it...

help would be greatly appreciated


thanks

you have to take it apart from the trunk. it is kind of a pain in the ass.

ok I thought so, are the bolts easy to find??

does it have anything to do with the orange tabs?

you can also take the rear seats and rear deck out. even more of a pain in the ass though

ok thanks, so do the orange tabs have anything to do with it???

im not quite sure, maybe someone else can chime in here. i have never taken mine apart.

ok thanks for the help though. That vent piece is were change the bulbs, so thats why im thinking the orange tabs have something to do with it.

You have to pull your back seat and your package shelf from inside the car to remove it, trust me I know. I installed a GTP overlay over my 3rd brake light...

Thanks, do you think you could be more descriptive how to remove the package shelf??? I would really apprecaite it.

Its been awhile but...

Back seat is held on with some tabs on the bottom section, pull out tabs and move up seat on both sides, back seat bottom can be removed. For the seat top, remove a couple bolts and its hooked in. Seat should pull up and out with the seat belts. From there you should see how to take out the seat belts pass through from there it SHOULD pull out. The brake light should slide out too.

Its been 5 years amd thats to the best of my memory....

thanks alot!!! ill post back if I have any problems when I try it this weekend.

thats correct. i found that its easier to take the top shelf if you pull out one side all the way and then let the thing just pull out.

ok gonne try this weekend thanks
