BE CAREFUL...I BROKE A COUPLE OF PLASTIC PIECES REMOVING MINE THE FIRST TIME.You got to remove the interior plastic so you can get to the bolts on the inside that also means removing the brake light too. Then unscrew like five or six bolts that hold the garnish on and the garnish with bolts should come right off from the outside.

Just below it is the little window that says "precidia" hope that helps!

hey man I just took sold my hatch garnish cause I put a GS wing on the back. Anyways, why do you have to take the brake light off? I didn't. It's easy enough once you get the trim off.

Yes i plan on selling the garnish, once i paint my spoiler and install it. I should have it up for sale in about another month or so. I don't have time to even look at takeing off the garnish for about a month. Basically i wanted to know of an idea before i get myself into it.

As far as I know, the RS only have a hatch-garnish, not wing.
