3rd brake light repair kit
Hey everyone,
I'd like to offer a repair kit for the 3rd brake light cover.
The back cover is held in place securely with fasteners so the bulb can be replaced.
It includes everything needed, and the assembly instructions.
$30 shipped in North America, contact me for shipping cost for everywhere else.

Here's a guideline on how to install the kit.
The most important aspect is to hold the screws straight while the glue sets, if they aren't parallel, it'll bind the parts together. It helps to use the spacer as in the 4th picture.
Once glued, remove the spacer and slide the washer in. Then reinstall the spacer and finally the nut. This will hold the sides together.
As a word of caution, the plastic is fragile throughout, and not just the clips. Don't squeeze too hard or apply too much torque when tightening the nut.
The glue takes a good 10 minutes to set, it's slow acting, there's no rush to stick it down. I let it cure for a couple hours and it's solid.
