Default Does anyone know how to remove the rear brake light cover on a car with rear sunshade?

The electric rear sunshade cover on the parcel shelf seems to prevent me from sliding the brake light cover back. It now looks a bit grimy where it meets the window on my 10 year old motor. Any advice appreciated

Default Try looking for the bolt heads in the trunk under the rear

ledge. The why I see it this is the only logical place to place the release bolts/screws.

Default I think you mean this:

It requires a good tug to remove it. It can get pretty grubby back there and difficult to clean. Hope this helps and thanks to Paul for posting this on the audipages site.

Takes a bit of pulling but will eventually pop off...no bolts.
