Hey!

Did you get it sorted out. Sorry for the no video but I've been so busy! And it's been bad weather a lot too so I can't go out and record.. especially not in the rain lol.

But I promise you'll get a video asap if you need it!

Thanks for asking. Still haven't tried to take the taillight off again. If you get a chance to throw something together that shows what to do once the 3 easy phillips screws are off, that would be really awesome! Have a great weekend.

I saw that video. There appears to be more holding it on than just the 3 phillips screws and mine won't come off.

well in that video she already took it off once, and that's why it's so easy for her, my first time i had to use the butt end of screw driver and hammer it out, a mallet would have been better but i didn't have one.
like ryan says, BEAT IT!

In it you will see I had to abuse mine. I thought it would be easy to pop off since I've done it countless times, but i had to show it who is boss.
