Removing the Rear Deck

If your A4 has the child safety seat anchors in the rear deck, you will have to remove those anchors first. Use a flat head screwdriver to gently pry the 3 plastic caps off of the anchors, and that will reveal the metal hooks and the bolts that hold the anchors to the car's chassis through the rear deck.

Next, disconnect the CHMSL (3rd brake light) wires, the plug can be found underneath the CHMSL inside the trunk.

The front lip of the rear deck is held in place by 3 plastic snap fittings. Pull up on the front of the rear deck and the snap fittings will pop loose. Now the rear deck is free to pull out by sliding it forward out of the rear window area.

If your rear deck will not slide forward out of the rear window area after you have removed the bolts and snap fittings, you may have to pry open the deck and peek inside to see if your car has the white foam holding it to the deck. There are 2 strips of white foam that are glued to both the rear deck and the chassis underneath. If you pry the deck up, you should see if that is preventing the rear deck from sliding out. If the foam is glued to the deck, just use your hands to peel the foam away from the rear deck (but leaving it glued to the steel chassis). Not all A4s have this foam, so only do this if you cannot get the rear deck free.

There are 3 hooks that hold the rear portion of the rear deck to the chassis, and they pose no problem when removing the rear deck. Once the 3 snap fittings are free, just slide the rear deck forward 1-inch and that will clear the 3 hooks. It is important to make sure these are aligned properly when snapping the rear deck back in place.

NOTE: the A4 speakers are mounted to the chassis underneath the rear deck, not the rear deck itself. If you are looking to access the rear speakers, the rear deck must be removed.





Installing the 3rd Brake Light Sticker

The 3rd brake light sticker is designed to be placed directly on the red lens of the A4's 3rd brake light, and therefore you may want to remove the rear deck to make the installation easier (see above). The sticker is sandwiched between 2 "backing" pieces; one is semi-transparent (like masking tape), and the other is non-transparent. First peel off the non-transparent side very slowly and carefully; making sure you don not remove any of the 4 rings decal with it. Now you have exposed the sticky side of the 4-rings decal. Next line up the decal with the 3rd brake light and apply to the lens. Using your finger, rub the sticker back and forth to ensure a good bond with the lens. Now you can remove the semi-transparent backing that is holding the sticker together. As before, remove the semi-transparent paper slowly and carefully so as not to peel any portion of the decal with it.

Once I run out, I am going to print some more...but then price is going up to maybe $4 each (I am still unemployed).
