Question tail light

Greetings all,
I have a 98 ML320. I changed my stop light bulb (middle) with no problems. Would anyone know how to change the left brake light? I was able to take out the 2 screws, but then there is something holding the lower left corner of the light fixture.

Also, I have this rattling sound in the back when I drive. The dealer change the back seat rails, but there is still the rattle.
I tried to adjust the trunk stoppers…2 rubber like screw in the middle of the trunk door where it seals shut, by screwing them out a bit. Any other suggestions.

Thank you in advance.

Nick

I had to change my left brake light a couple months ago. Seems like it's held in place by a pop-in type connector (don't know the exact technical term). I just wrapped some cloth around a screwdriver or something, so as not to damage the paint, and pried the fixture out. It came out with a pop. Once I got that out it was an easy job.

Don't have any suggestions on the rattle though.

I had a rattle in the back, and it was the back hatch. I adjusted it as you mentioned, by screwing out the two rubber adjustment stops.
